Clicked on uninstall in CP > Add/Remove > pop window opened displaying > Go to Settings turn off all 3 web shields ( which I didn’t do) it removed Avast & asked to reboot the machine.
On reboot I installed this new version with custom install, checked only SW updater!
The clean tool will automatically reboot the system into safemode for you
Not sure what VP is ???
If it’s working correctly then leave it be but if your unhappy/ not sure about it then uninstall it, reboot and then run the tool, when its finished reboot the system again and install new avast in custom mode.
