Hello, I was experiencing some trouble with avast so I decided to uninstall it and reinstall it. Now when I go to reinstall it says “Avast is already installed, please uninstall the previous version first.”. Even though I deleted all traces of Avast before trying to reinstall it. Please help
How did you do the uninstall ?
From the Control Panel, Programs, Uninstall A program or using the Avast Uninstall Utility, etc.
What Windows version and what avast Program/s, version number did you have installed ?
I am not sure how I uninstalled it. This was a while ago I am just now posting. I also do not know which version it was
You didn’t say what operating version version you are using ?
Since when you are trying to install again it is telling you avast is installed - Check the Windows Start (Window icon, bottom left of the screen), is Avast Antivirus listed in the programs (generally that list should be in Alphabetic order), see image 1. See Attached Images (click to expand).
If it is there should be an option to Uninstall it in the Right Click menu (Image 2).
I am using mac

I checked that bottom link but I already moved avast to trash and now I can’t find it anywhere so I can’t uninstall it
