I’m using the Free 6.0.1367 Version, and it won’t update anymore. If I try to update either the program or the virus definitions, it gets stuck at “initializing” (no progress at all). Also, I don’t know how to uninstall it so I can reinstall the new version.
- download and save the version you want http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=103687.msg830212#msg830212
- download and save the uninstall utility http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility
- re-boot into safe mode (pressing F8 repeatedly)
- run uninstall utility for each version of avast you have now
- re-boot into normal mode
- install version 7.0.1466
- re-boot and register avast
