Failing that...
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, May 18 2013 @ 11:54 PM EDT
Begin with a backup of everything that is important to you on that
machine...mail, docs, pictures, web bookmarks and remembered site
passwords.

If you have that, you can always do a reinstall from scratch, or run on a
different machine or hard drive until you have things straightened out.

My preferred path:

Run regedit and delete all keys referring to it.

Then reboot using a Linux Live CD , mount your hard drive, and remove all
the files.

Then reboot back to Windoesn't.

Install Your Antivirus. Then Install Firefox browser.

Help - undeletable AV

I've tried it. I can't install over it, because that seems to depend on the
same thing that uninstall depends on.

MSS2

Revo uninstaller?
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, May 19 2013 @ 05:11 AM EDT
I've found that very effective in similar situations. The free version is for 32
bit systems only. There are free 64 bit
uninstallers but I've not used them and know nothing about them.

Remove MS Patch 2823324
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, May 19 2013 @ 05:40 PM EDT
Patch 2823324 has been the cause of may similar issues.
Remove it before attempting other restore/repair.
Once removed, if the problem still occurs, use the MS Installer Cleanup tool to
make it look like it isn't installed.
Boot into safe mode and remove Avast from the registry, reboot and reinstall.
