my lappy went sick last night and took a few hours to sort out but there is one problem i cant overcome.

Avast! antivirus will not turn on.

i tried to uninstall but it cant find part of the file so wont.

tried to re-download, which it does, but i get a couple of error messages, below, when i try to install.

I tried on chrome, firefox and IE9, and from the avast website and also Filehippo



anyone got any idea why it wont install or uninstall ?

no go Jim......Revo uses the Avasts own inbuilt uninstall files then searches for leftover files.

revo seems to have done its job.
need a reboot to be sure then download avast again.

phewww .. relief ..

Revo usually does a good job, wouldn't use anything else for uninstalling .. in saying that, most, probably all of my past problems have been caused by uninstalling unwanted software.. so now I just leave them alone .. less tears ..

Well... it could be a lot of things...
I will need more information to be able to help you:

Do you use a firewall? Which one?
Do you have any other antivirus installed in your system? Did you have in the past?
Any other security programs that could interfere?
