I have the popular “side by side” error when starting Avast. I’ve read through a fair number of posts and the general fix seems to be to uninstall and reinstall. This morning I used the uninstaller in safe mode. Rebooted, reinstalled and received the same error. Are there any other things to try? (I am currently trying to use the free version). Thanks for any help in advance.
