Title: Help to uninstall avast on many PCs
Post by: evertjr on July 17, 2013, 05:40:42 PM

I work for a company that have Avast Free on many PCs. We need to remove avast because it is blocking a remote instalation of a agent required for a Management System that we'll use. As I said, there's many PCs with avast free installed so it would be bad if we have to manually uninstall one by one.

So, there's a solution to remote uninstall avast? maybe a script or batch file... Anyone have an idea?

By default, avast! has self-defense enabled - which makes it impossible to automate the removal (if someone could silently uninstall avast!, malware could do it as well).
Business products have central management (which can perform remote uninstallation, of course), but avast! Free is "standalone".

And by the way, Avast Free is only for personal and non-commercial use.

+1 That's why the OP certainly won't get any help from my side.
