Hi,
I cannot get rid of the "AVAST Software" key from my Windows 7 Ultimate registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\AVAST Software
When I click that key, I get this popup:
Error Opening Key
AVAST Software cannot be opened.
An error is preventing this key from being opened.
Details: The system cannot find the file specified.
[OK]
When I try to delete this key I get:
Error Opening Key
Cannot delete AVAST Software: Error while opening key.
[OK]
When I right-click and try to get to Permissions I get a popup:
Permissions for AVAST Software
Security
The requested security information is either unavailable or can't be displayed.
To date I've tried these methods without success to delete this key:
* taking ownership
* granting permission
* renaming the key in the hope that I could then delete it: cannot rename it.
* psexec -i -d -s c:\windows\regedit.exe
* runassystem.exe
* RegistrarHomeV8.exe
* RegDelNull64.exe
* procexp.exe
* PCHunter64.exe
I followed this:

All to no avail.
Anyone got an idea of how to get rid of the 'AVAST Software' key sitting in my registry?
Many thanks!
