Thinking about coming back, question...

I’m thinking about coming back and installing Avast free. However, in the past I had Avast Internet Security and from what I remember I just did the add/remove from my computers control panel.

Is their anything I need to do such as a removal tool to make sure this install goes smoothly because again I didn’t know about anything other than add/remove in years past.

Of course, CCleaner may very well have gotten rid of any remaining bits of past installations but I can’t be for certain. I currently have Norton.

Thanks, your help would be appreciated.

First, be sure to get rid of all remnants of your prior installed AVs.

  3. Reinstall avast! with the downloaded installer from point 1.
  4. Reboot.
