    Avast Antivirus...

    is broken and it won't uninstall so I can set it back up again. I'm logged in as an administrator, and it won't even let me delete the program folder, or copy anything from it or into it.. any ideas as to how I can get rid of it to reinstall?

    Firts, look at this thread:

    http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=44249.0

    Then try re-installing and uninstalling - if this can't be done, then the utility mentioned in the above thread would be worth a try:

    I had to do this a few months ago and it did work and Avast is up and running since.
    Good luck!
