    In that case you have to delete it forcefully. For that you have to get into the /Application and delete the Avast from there. If it starts then press apple-alt-esc which will forcefully close the dialog after that you can easily delete the Avast from the Mac System. So try the same and get rid of the issue which you are going through.

    You can also remove the program with the help of the Command. Use the "rm -rf" which will remove the Avast application from the system that you are running with the same. It will take some time to delete the file from system depending on the RAM size that you are using. I have got this method only to uninstall. Hope you will like it.

    I am having a application which is having the functionality to remove the program from the Apple System. The program is known as the AppCleaner which is developed to work with the program uninstallation in the Mac OS. So if you wanted to get rid of any unwanted program then install the AppCleaner and work with it.

    Uninstallation of the program in Mac OS is very easy all you have to do is to remove the complete package by throwing it from the Application folder to the Trash and the program will be deleted from the system. I have never found any process other then this. So if you can then please uninstall it and let me know whether it is working or not
