Avast 2014 Disabled by Windows 8.1

I thought Avast 2014 was windows approved, it won’t work even if i hit Resolve All, I just updated to windows 8.1.

2014 works fine on win 8.1 as many others are using it plus myself, you could try a repair via Programs and features - uninstall/repair method but if that fails you’ll need to download the avast clean up tool and a fresh copy of avast from here http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=139606.0.

Run the cleanup tool which will boot you into safe mode and proceed to remove avast, when finished reboot and navigate to the “hidden” Program Data folder and delete the avast file there, at this point I would suggest running CCleaner including the registry cleaning option to remove some leftover dll’s and browser extensions, when done your clear to install the fresh copy of avast downloaded earlier.
