Try installing avast on a separate partition.It might help.

try reinstalling avast in the same folder. then try uninstalling it.

if this doznt help, try using 'advanced uninstaller pro's' forced uninstall option. *www.soft32.com/download_8359.html

or then try windows uninstaller utility
*support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301

last resort : remove avast from startup. delete avast folder physically.
use a registry cleaner like ccleaner or 'ace utilities' to clear registry/pc junk.

reboot.

i use zone alarm as u said. but since i dont use privacy features (cookie control, ad blocking etc) of zone alarm there is no chance of conflict i hope. after all, i am using this combo (avast+za) for a pretty long time

anyway. my prob is already solved.

I have been using a cocktail of Avast, Zone Alarm, Spybot, Ad Aware, Spywareblaster and recently MS Antispyware also for quite a long time with Win 98 and now with XP. So far no compatibility or other issues.
