Moving avast

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I copied the “Alwil Software” folder in “C:/ Program Files” to a primary partition on a new internal HDD. If I edit the shortcuts in the start menu to point to the new location and then delete the ALwil folder on C:/, will avast continue to function normally with no loss of data? Some .log, .ws, .dat, .db, Resident protection.txt, and .int files changed during the copying process, and are no doubt still changing. Is that a problem?

For sure avast won’t work.
There are registry keys that will be bad addressed.
Uninstall avast and install it again in the other partition.
