    I downloaded the Avast 7.0 Internet Security program onto my desktop. I am unable to remove it as it states I need permission from the computer's administrator to make changes to this file.

    I am the only user on this computer. Under the User accounts section (Windows 7), I see that I am the administrator as well.

    Do you have an uninstaller for that program? If so, right-click on it and select 'Run as Administrator'.

    Hi my friend , also you can go to

    C:\Program Files\AVAST Software
    C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast
    C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\AVAST.SETUP-10F48C5B.pf
    C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\AVAST.SETUP-28415A18.pf
