End of report

I’ve finally managed to remove avast, it kept crashing every time I tried to launch the uninstaller, they don’t want you to get rid of it do they! do I need to use an alternative antivirus, or are they not necessary?

chrome is still resizing and full screening itself and flash keeps crashing, do you have any ideas why it’s doing that? Also, have I put this question in the wrong section, would it be better in the iOS section?

Anyone got any ideas...?
