Removing avast from Mac

After removing avast from my Mac (the old drag-drop-to-trashcan) I still had some processes running from avast. To make things worse I still had an Icon in my toolbar and system preferences. The latter one I could remove easily, the other one a bit harder. Hope the next bit helps someone else on removing this way-too-much-overhead-av-scanner

First open a shell and make your self root

$ sudo su -

Then navigate to launch map

# cd /Library/LaunchDaemons

Now Unload the correct services

# launchctl unload com.avast.daemon.plist

# launchctl unload com.avast.fileshield.plist

# launchctl unload com.avast.kexts.plist

# launchctl unload com.avast.proxy.plist

# launchctl unload com.avast.proxy.plist

Finally remove residu

rm -i /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.avast.*

rm -i /Library/LaunchAgents/com.avast.*
