Was having a hard time downloading the file and came here and read to save it to desktop which I did. Now here is the problem. I had avast before and due to a screw up with my internet provider I had to uninstall it thru Add/Remove Hardware. Well it appears there is some files still on my computer and when I click the Avast desktop icon I only get 2 options…to uninstall or change…tried using change and it did not load up the file. Do I need to use the uninstall? I have such a slow dialup internet that this would be the 8th time I would have to try to download the full 18 mb file again. Any sugestions would be appreciated. Thanks
I suggest an installation from the scratch:
- Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
- Boot.
- Use Avast Uninstall for complete uninstallation.
- Boot.
- Install again the last version.
- Boot.
- Check and post the results.
Tried to uninstall thru control panel and received this:
“Error”
A setface error has occurred 2
Try to reinstall or contact support
Which is why Tech gave the link to the uninstall utility as it can recover from a failed uninstall using add remove programs.
