  1. Download Avastclear, Rejzors uninstall tool and the appropriate Avast program edition

Note : You need to be ONLINE during the install (sometimes online installer works whereas offline doesn’t)

Avastclear : http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avastclear.exe
Rejzors Uninstall tool: http://rejzor.wordpress.com/avast-cleanup-tool/

  1. Uninstall Avast by control panel [If you don’t have Avast in control Panel go to #4]
  2. Uninstall in safe mode using Avastclear.
  3. Run Rejzors Uninstall Utility in Normal Mode (removes traces avastclear doesn’t) - reboot.
  4. Install the version you downloaded.
  5. Reboot.

Remove avg before doing the above.

Hey thanks so far its not taking all my cpu usage. Wonder what caused it before. Will monitor it

For a to me unknown reason the cpu usage is sometimes high when doing the normal update.
Since the online update works a little different, so far it always has solved the problem for people.
Good to hear the problem is solved.

Anyway, you know where to find us if there is anything you need help with or want to know.
Welcome to this webboard.
