Recently I used “convert” to convert a machine’s file system to NTFS from FAT32.
Since the conversation has completed avast! has stopped working correctly.
It will not uninstall or reinstall, if you try, it produces the following error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Buffer overrun detected!
Program: C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4.…
[with information:]
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program’s
internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must
now be terminated.
[OK]
I am unable to uninstall or reinstall avast!, I have even tried downloading it fresh and deleting all files in my %tmp% dir before running the installer.
What I believe I need is some kind of avast! uninstaller which will remove all references to avast! so I can then reinstall it from fresh. Does such a thing exist? I know Norton has something similar.
