Will removing avast 2014 also remove 11 files of chrome and google?
I went to start,search,search files,and typed in google+ and found 2 files I can not remove.I did a search again,this time for chrome,and 9 files came up.I clicked on one google+,opened the file it is in and 98 more files for avast,chrome,and google showed up including the green circles that show google tracking me.Will using the avast uninstall remove everything avast put on my pc?I did not download chrome also,I did not,but google and chrome files were downloaded.I wanted avast only!! i will delete avast and never use it again if avast uninstall will remove EVERYTHING avast put on,and switch to MSE.Thanks!

No!
Using the Avast built-in uninstaller will leave files in your computer. You need to use a professional uninstaller. First it will uninstall Avast using Avast' own uninstaller, then you will be presented with an option to search for and remove additional files. When you installed Avast I think you had the option to install or not install chrome & google. Any way once Avast has been uninstalled, using this same program search for Chrome and if it's there uninstall it separately. This is a free version,they have a paid version with additional features. Install the paid trial for the additional features and once the trial is over use the free version. Avast is the #1 top rated free Antivirus and MSE is close if not at the bottom of the list. Also support for MSE will end in 2015. Also Avast scans email, browsers etc etc, MSE doesn't do any of these things. http://www.revouninstaller.com/ http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_unin...nload.html Ads |

Your best luck would be to do a system restore by pressing the Windows Key + R and then typing rstrui.exe to restore your computer to a date before you installed Avast and Google Chrome.
That said, most likely what happened was that you blindly clicked next as you installed Avast and/or you downloaded Avast from a website like CNET which is known to offer you bundled software. In the future, I'd advise you to use MajorGeek's website instead. And try AVG Free which is a lot better than Avast and MSE. http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/...ition.html |
