Well, it’s not a hole…
System restore does not play well with avast! from time to time.
I suggest an installation from scratch (step 4 at Safe Mode, please).

  1. Download the latest version of avast! Uninstall Utility and save it.
  2. Download the latest avast! version and save it.
  3. (Optional) If you want, save your avast! settings for later restoration (Settings > Maintenance > Back up).
  4. Uninstall avast from Control Panel (if possible). If, for any reason, you can’t run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after that.
  5. Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1 in Safe Mode. Boot after you’ve run it. Repeat this for any major avast! version you have ever installed/upgraded in your computer.
  6. Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Boot.
  7. Register your free copy or add the license key for Pro. Or even upgrade your key from old versions.
  8. Check and post the results. If, for any reason, you did not solve, try doing the step 3 in Safe Mode anyway.

I have the same problem, and my friend was telling me not to mess around in safe mode, because I am not that good with computers. How do I do this? I cannot find the setup file anywhere. I did a system restore and ever since then my computer is running like a slug and this is just sitting there and running and I can’t even use it. Please help.

Whenever i try to uninstall avast it says avast setup fatal error. says setup cannot continue… So i guess it doesnt matter if i find the file or not.
