Avast warning

vivaladiva

Hi
Keep getting an Avast warning about file C:\ProgramFiles|Ask.com|SaUpdate.exe
No idea where it has come from, but I am getting the warning every couple of mins. No idea where it has come from or how to stop it.
Today is my first day using FF browser in ages. Has this something to do with it and how do I stop it?
TIA

It is not as simple as that. I have been searching how to get rid but it is still with me A straightforward uninstall won't do it. Last night I found what looked like an official site with instructions on how to do it but this was after an hour or so and I was too tired to carry on. I will find the post asap and come back to you if it works.

That is the official link above. Did you see this bit?

If you get an error message during the uninstall process or after rebooting your system you still see the toolbar, please run this application to clean up the toolbar: ToolbarUtilityTool.exe
