I'll look up the Avast! executable...

I think its C:\Program Files\Avast\Avast!.exe

But Let me check it over to make sure.

"C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashAvast.exe"

But since the install folder can be changed at installation it is always better to check the path for any app in the registry.

You can usually get them by enumerating

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths

and/or

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

The right way to get the path for Avast is

RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\ashAvast.exe", "")

That's because I might have decided not to install it in @ProgramFilesDir at all. Maybe I installed it in E:\Avast\.

The same applies to the other apps.
