Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hi, I just did program update yesterday through GUI but never restarted the pc after the update so the problem was not realized and today I get a message from the IU that states that Avast UI failed to load language dd [2057\UILangRes.dll] Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Try this:

  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)

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.

Hi,

I have had the same problem on a Win7 x64 VM this morning. Before undertaking an uninstall and clean-up I decided to run a repair from Programs and Features and that has fixed the problem (after a reboot).

Hope this is helpful.

Regards,

Jason

Nice fix.

Frequently, doing the simple things first works the best.

Sorry for not giving any update for so long. My problem is fixed after the “Repair” and restart. Although the above method that you mentioned was not applied but thanks anyway.

Exactly. I did that before I saw your reply. Thanks for the reply anyway.

I got the same issue (win 8.1 x64).

Thanks for the repair suggestion as my next stop was the clean and reinstall. That will save a bit of time.
