How did you install avast 6, update from avast 5 User Interface or clean install ?

Now you have been back and forth a few times it may be best to do a clean reinstall.

This assumes you are using free version:

  • Download the latest version of avast, 6.0.1000 http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_free_eng.exe and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again (if you didn’t save your last download). Use that when you reinstall.

  • Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, aswClear5.exe find it here and save it to your HDD (it has uninstall tools for both 5.x and 6.0.x).

    1. Now uninstall your current installation of avast! (using add remove programs, if you can’t do that start from the next step), reboot.- 2. run the avast! Uninstall Utility from safe mode, first for 5.x if previously installed and then for 6.x, once complete reboot into normal mode.- 3. install the latest version, reboot.
