Uninstall and Reinstall Avast Premium Security

Is it possible to uninstall and then reinstall this software? For the past couple of weeks I have had problems with this program. I used the Avast chat. The female employee was very helpful. However, she was unable to provide a solution. Basically, what is happening is that the icon for this program appears and disappears from the task bar. When I attempt to use the desktop icon, there is not response. Previously, when the program was working correcting the icon within the task bar was pulsating. This no longer happening. I tried to uninstall and repair several times and still it is not working.

If I am unable to uninstall and reinstall. How can I completing remove this software from my pc?

  1. Download Avast Premium Security: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_premium_security_setup_offline.exe
  2. Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions…!!)
  3. Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
  4. Reboot.
