Uninstalling Version 2015.10.0.2208 Seems To Be Hanging But Using Resources.

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Here’s a short video of what I’ve been staring at for the past hour including the uninstall process in the task manager: http://screencast.com/t/8cDiQwWSEWt3

I’m guessing it’s not going to install? It has admin permission and it also accepted my Avast protection password. Should I attempt to use a removal tool as shown here? http://avast-removal-tool.com

  • Reboot
  • Close everything that is not needed for the system to work
  • Try to remove avast through control panel

If it doesn’t work, abort the uninstall and reboot
If it does work, reboot

  • Run the avast uninstall tool
