    Cannot delete Free Avast AV


    Hi
    I was installing a program, missed unticking the Free Avast Antivirus software, now its partly installed itself, i cannot delete it.
    Its not in my programs and features file, it's in my start menu.
    If I go to file try to delete it is says I don't have Admin rights, I'm logged on as local admin.

    It doesn't show itself in apps and features either.

    Please, how do i get rid of it?

    Thanks

    It worked for me.

    It should be found in C:/Program Files or in C:/Program Files(x86)
