Thanks for the link. I think it will not solve my problem, however. Several
months ago I converted my main machine from Windows 10 to Linux Mint,
including reformatting the drive, and somehow Avast survived that. I don't
even know how that is possible, but Avast apparently does know. I suppose I
could run Windows in a VirtualBox, but I suspect that won't let me get to
the bottom layer.
