Getting permission to remove software
Anyone know how I can get Permission to remove a corrupt version of Avast
antivirus software from a Vista laptop, 32-bit? It shows in Uninstall a Program but I get an error and it wont uninstall. Avast has no option to Uninstall and the downloaded MS software called MSfixit.ProgramInstalluninstall.RNP cannot remove it either. When I try to manually remove it I get the Need Permission crap and cannot remove it manually. How/where do I get this Permission to remove unwanted corrupt software that even MS software can't uninstall? TIA.......

I know that Norton and McAfee provide uninstallers on their respective web sites. I would suggest looking to see if Avast does the same. If it's like the Symantec (Norton) site, it won't be easy to find, but if you manage to dig it up it should be worth the effort. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch)
