There are bugs with Avast 2014 and XP so until they are fixed you can stay with this is OR revert back to v8…
You can go back to Avast 8.0.1497 but I’d rather want the issue to be resolved…
Anyways…
- Download the right aswclear and the appropriate program
Avast 8.0.1497 : http://www.filehippo.com/download_avast_antivirus/download/0c203d8e8244458c5da81998eb76f523/
v8 and below : http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility
v9: http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avastclear.exe
- Uninstall Avast by control panel [If you don’t have Avast in control Panel go to #4]
- Uninstall in safe mode using aswclear (v8 or below) or avastclear (v9) [If you don’t have Avast in control Panel just install it]
- Download and install your version
- Reboot.
Note : Once installed make sure you change program update TO MANUAL.
