Avast slows my iMac down to a crawl.

Avast Mac Security
1

I have installed Avast and the mail on my iMac has slowed down to a crawl. Also, I no longer get messages off my mail server and when I send an email, it takes forever to go. And mail also shows that it is receiving something like 20 messages, yet nothing shows up. Just a bar showing it’s working on it. I dragged the application to the trash, but it isn’t completely gone. I say that because it indicated the definitions have been updated.

  1. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
  2. I clicked on the link showing how to uninstall from a Mac, but the page turned up blank. Has anyone a working link to unintalling Avast on an iMac?
    Thank!

You have to reinstall Avast! again, then launch the application and from the top menu bar choose: avast!>Uninstall…

Avast application should be possible to uninstall with:

  • top menu bar choose: avast!>Uninstall
  • application in an installtion DMG
  • drag&drop to trash (and a reboot for old avast versions)
