Unable to uninstall Avast from windows 7

I am using windows Vista Home Basic on my Samsung R510 laptop. Couple of days ago,i got a setup file of Avast free edition from my friend and i installed it. Later on,I installed McAfee security center,which i had got with my laptop. After that i also installed Microsoft Security Essentials. After that, Avast stopped working and started flashing an error that its side by side config is incorrect so i uninstalled it.However i reinstalled it again and it started working agin. It was working fine until i updated McAfee and MSE. Now the same error message appears again and again.Now i am not able to uninstall the avast as well because it is not visible in control panel. Although i am able to see its file from Program Files in C drive.

Related Windows Problems:

• Unable to uninstall the application program from my Windows 7
• Unable to uninstall the app from the Start Screen on Windows 8

I am unable to understand the reason why you installed more than one antivirus on your computer. It is not recommended to install and use two or more antivirus utilities on one computer.These two can collide when both of them try to scan at the same time. You will get an error message from both of these softwares.You mentioned that you are using a free antivirus. It is always recommended that you install a free antivirus directly from internet rather than using a pirated version that might be outdated or compromised. To fix your issue,restart your computer in Safe mode and uninstall Avast from there. You can start your computer in safe mode by continously pressing F8 after restarting before the display of windows logo.

Hello friend,


I have the solution for your problem just do as i say.............

1.Firstly i want to ask that by installing many antivirus software's you can be aware from antivirus.

2.It is wrong but installing multiple antivirus one will other to not work.

3.That's what is happened in your computer.

4.Not all the files some files of the avast are still in your they are working in your computer.

5.If you want to delete that software then you simply move the Avast files in the Program files to 'Recycle bin'.

6.If it is not possible ti delete those files then you re-install in the same location.

7.Now you go to 'Uninstall a Program' and uninstall that software from there.

That's it by doing as i said you can solve your problem.

Have a nice day.............

You should know that you should not install or keep more than one antivirus program at a time in your system. Give a try to following steps to get rid of your problem:-

> First of all uninstall McAfee antivirus software from your system as particularly this antivirus software creates a lot of problem if being run with any other antivirus program.

> Uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials also.

> Directly delete all those Avast program files you can see in C drive. If you can not do that then log into Safe Mode and try to uninstall it from there.

> Since you are using Avast free edition so it must be time limited after which it will stop working automatically and will ask for registration to buy it. My suggestion is that you should go with Microsoft Security Essentials as it is free for home users and also compatible with all Windows versions being a product of Microsoft.

If you have installed Avast antivirus and did tinker with it and other antivirus. it will definitely teach you a thing or two.

Avast or so to say any antivirus they are sticky and really hard to remove and especially free trial versions they leave traces which disturbes a lot.

Safe Mode Removal is the way for you, if you are not thinking of any third party uninstaller found over the internet.

Press F8 multiple times once POST check is over and booting starts.

In safe mode , uninstall the Avast Antivirus which will be visible.

HELLO FRIEND ,

Wel thats no problem the program must not have registered itself in the registry..

if you want to remove it you can manually delete it that will be the simplest solution....


ALL THE BEST
