I got new hp stream laptop, installed avast. After install, i need to restard. I restard and than my computer wont start. I needed to do restore. I tryed again. Broblem still occurs. Now i need to reinstall windows 10 again. I wont instal again if i dont get fix. Even safemode wont work.
Did you remove any pre-installed av before installing avast ?
Yes mcafee coz i hate it.
Did you use the removal tool for it ?
I used windows 10 uninstall thingy. The list of installed programs. Mcfakee even said restart after uninstall. And i did, worked fine.
That is not removing everything and that can be the problem.

I will use it once iv reinstalled windows 10. It took about 50min last time. I report what happends after that. I will restart 10 times so i can be sure it is working. And i will donwload the avast install software again from thos website so there is no wrong exe. I hope i can get avast on this comp, coz it has served me many years very good.

Scroll down to “Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.” and follow the instructions.
Attach the two log files (FRST.txt and Addition.txt) to your next post.
Let’s see if we can find what is going wrong.
i needed to donwload 64bit version, i got it and here are the files.
McAfee is not removed.
- Download the attached fixlist.txt and place it in the same folder as where you have Farbar.
- Start Farbar and press “FIX”.
- Reboot
- Download THIS avast installer and run it
Let me know if it is working.
I get same error again when trying to install avast

Please create new Farbar log files and attach them to your post.
Okey, sorry for taking so long. here are the new files.
Ok, McAcrap is gone now.
Did you disable system restore ?
Try to enable it and when it is enabled try to install avast again.
I did not disable it, it was disabled allready. this Computer is new, just got it yesterday. this Computer has only 30 gig flash drivé, that maybe the reason why system restore is disabled. i enabled it now and instal did not work same error.
What alternetive antivirus should i download, avast clesrly wont want to install.
