- Download: http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_ais.exe
- Follow instructions here: http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility
- Reinstall AIS.
Solved…??
Well there is another possibility:
18.07.2011 15:26:27 internet: SYNCER: Type: use IE settings
I don’t know if the update proxy settings might be the problem, if as this says it is using those of IE.
Try avastUI, Settings, Updates, Proxy Settings, and set it to Direct connection (no proxy) and see if that makes a difference.
Thanks Dave, I missed that…!
@OP: Try: Direct Connection (No Proxy) first…!!
It is a slim possibility though not 100%, so I was clutching at any straw offered ;D
Well, for the OP it’s easier to test this first, compared to a clean reinstall.
So, a good suggestion, imo.
i real;y dont gettit it just wont let me re/install if tryed the things sugested ??? >:(
just geeps coming up with the same thing
Exactly what error do you get when you try to uninstall ?

OK, was the Install/uninstall carried out using an account with admin privileges ?
If not, that is a requirement.
If so because you have had uninstall issues, try following the clean install instructions in the order set out below.
Here is the process of a clean install:
-
Download the latest version of avast AIS, 6.0.1203 (link in Reply #7 above) and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again (if you didn’t save your last download). Use that when you reinstall.
-
Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, aswClear.exe find it here and save it to your HDD (it has uninstall tools for both 5.x and 6.0.x).
-
- Now uninstall avast! (using add remove programs, if you can’t do that start from the next step), reboot.- 2. run the avast! Uninstall Utility from safe mode, first for 5.x if previously installed and then for 6.0, once complete reboot into normal mode.- 3. install the latest version, reboot.
i did that i even found some avast stuff lurking in documents and settings/user/addlication data removed it with the cleaner made sure i was good and it still wont install and yes i am a admin
I’m at a bit of a loss as to what else to suggest, as a clean install usually resolves issues in a corrupt installation, etc.
Looking back on your last post error “Load registry hive ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION” which I would say is a Windows blocking error (what OS are you running ?), rather than an internal avast one.
Do you have any form of registry protection application or is it built into any other security application, firewall (which is ?)
What other security applications do you have installed ?
Have (or did) you another Anti-Virus installed in this system, if so what was it and how did you get rid of it ?
Edit: Just did a google search on the error as it is something that was in the back of my head as being familiar, http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Load+registry+hive+ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION. The first hit is for the avast forum and there are a few other topics flagged in that entry, so you could check those and se if there is anything relevant.
