Your point could be made while simultaneously watching your mouth. ::slight_smile:

Anyway, use this>>http://www.avast.com/en-us/uninstall-utility

Well, do as you like, but if you had updated your avast, you would be just fine now. :wink:
Your version is way outdated…!

Are you seriously using avast Program Version: 5.0.507, which is positively ancient on windows 7 ?

If you are I suggest that do a clean install of avast 6.0.1289:

  • Download the latest version of avast, 6.0.1289 http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_free.exe and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again (if you didn’t save your last download). Use that when you reinstall.

  • Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, aswClear.exe find it here and save it to your HDD (it has uninstall tools for both 5.x and 6.0.x).

    1. Now uninstall avast! (using add remove programs, if you can’t do that as appears the case, start from the next step), reboot.- 2. run the avast! Uninstall Utility from safe mode, first for 5.x if previously installed and then for 6.0 (if you had a failed update to avast6), once complete reboot into normal mode.- 3. install the latest version, reboot.

Please, upload (attach) the avast log:
C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log\Setup.log
or C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\Setup\setup.log

If the file is too big for the forum, post the last 400-500 lines of it.
