Avast User Interface opening

Sorry but your post wasn’t specific - just giving the link and a user going there sees all of the stuff there and it is daunting, hence the OPs comment:

Sorry David. I’m used to just doing it myself with basic instructions like that.

I shall review my other post with Avast! Clear and post Specific instructions here soon…

Avast Clear no longer requires that you boot into safe mode and then run it.
It only requires that you run it in regular mode and then allow it to do it’s job in safe mode. :slight_smile:
Once you give it permission, Avast Clear will reboot the system into Safe Mode and do it’s job.
Rebooting after the job is finished is required.

Same thing Bob. Just going off the directions given by Avast.

Their directions are still incorrect. They haven’t updated those directions to the current capabilities of the Avast Removal Tool. :slight_smile:
Running the program in regular mode and allowing it to reboot into safe mode is not the same thing as booting into Safe Mode first and then running the program.

ermm, fixed.

Can I just add /nogui to the startup for Avast and if so where and how do I add it please?

I’m still here.

  1. Download Avast Free Antivirus: http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe
  2. Follow instructions: http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions…!!)
  3. Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
  4. Reboot.

Not unless you understand Reg Binary…

You don’t need to understand binary, registry or otherwise.

It is more not wishing to have the user start editing the registry unless they are confident working in the registry - accidents happen.

A clean reinstall as suggested is probably the better/safer option.

Sorry it took so long to get back. This solution took care of the problem. Thank you very much.

You’re welcome.
