However you have not mentioned the error which you are getting during the uninstallation of the avast! 4.8 antivirus software. May be some of the files are missing of the software because of which it is not able to uninstall from the system. So i will advice you to uninstall the avast! 4.8 using the installation disc. Insert the disc in the DVD rom, After that you will get the repair or uninstall option if the software exist in the system. Select the uninstall option. This will remove the program.
