I tried to install the newest version after uninstalling an older version because of it was unable to update. I used the uninstaller. The newest version will not install. It goes through all the motions creating a restore point etc. etc. then it will automatically uninstall. Whats up with this?
Free or not …i dont have the time to piss around trying to research an apparent troubled program. Im going with Avira. Maybe better , maybe not. All i know is avast has been trouble.
Avast installed without a hitch.
I suggest an installation from the scratch:
- Download the latest version of avast! Uninstall Utility and save it.
- Download the latest avast! version and save it.
- Uninstall avast from Control Panel (if possible). If, for any reason, you can’t run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after that.
- Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1. If, for any reason, you can’t run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after you’ve run it.
- Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Boot.
- Register your free copy or add the license key for Pro.
- Check and post the results.
