Re: I think Avast is a virus :-)

Then why has no other CCleaner user reported the
problem not just on this list, but on the other two active Windows users lists
I'm on? It doesn't seem plausible.
How have you tried to remove Avast in the
past? And if you really think its CCleaner, why not completely remove
CCleaner and see what happens?
But rather than do that, doing what I suggest below
may yield the wanted result without doing unnecessary and likely ineffective
work.
I don't know how you might stop it. the
question may well be too specific and essoteric for the list. Why not ask
somewhere like Bleeping Computer where geeks hang out to help with technical
questions that range from simple to obscure.

removed from making frequent attempts to reinstall itself. I have a suspicion that Ccleaner is responsible for apparent random downloads in the background without any input from a user. It then sits there and out of the blue comes up as installing. Does anyone know of a third party program that can spot this and actually stop it. maybe an entry in Microsofts windows 7 firewall or something. Unfortunately, the machine in question is a device used by both sighted and blind, and its only when I get there and find this inaccessible over active impossible to remove bit of so called anti virus software that I get very annoyed. I want to make it absolutely impossible to install it. Any ideas? Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.
