Having previously had McAffee and AVG9 on a Windows XP pc, I recently installed Avast on to the machine. I had of course removed the other software beforehand, but only after installing Avast I realised both McAffee and AVG had additional uninstallers to totally remove them, which I hadn’t run. I’ve since run them, with Avast already installed. Could this be a problem? Could the uninstallers affected Avast? Or should I also uninstall Avast then re-install?
You don`t say anything about having a problem with avast… ???..do you have one ?
just clean what’s left (from McAfee and AVG), and leave avast as is, you don’t need to uninstall and reinstall it.
Actually - no, I have no noticeable problem, and my PC appears to be working normally too - no crashes/blue screens etc - but I’m not sure whether that necessarily means it’s working properly. Could there be subtle problems? Like Avast not spotting Viruses!
I have only just installed Avast today, so I guess there’s times for problems to develop? I suppose I’m looking for a, “No, what you’ve done shouldn’t cause any problems” or “What you’ve done is wrong, in the worng order. Uninstall Avast and start again” type answer!
Ah, okay - got a reply while posting my last comment. Sounds like I’ve done all that is needed. Thank you.
you’d have error messages or services not running. That doesn’t seem to be the case so leave it as is, read my post above :
edit: OK you’ve seen it now ;D
OK, thanks for your help. Unless things start going wring in the next few days, I’ll leave Avast as it is.
