BMP? Don't you mean SCR? :huh:

Open the windows search, and search for "*.scr" without the quotes, it'll show all the screensavers on your computer.

Oops, edited my post above, confused SCR with SRC.

Where it says "Type the filename here", type in:

Type this: *.scr
NOT this: *.src

Sorry about the confusion.

EDIT: Also, make sure to put the *.

Have you tried just searching for "avast! antivirus" and deleting it?
