Title: Double Avast on Task Manager (didn't have this before)
Post by: REDACTED on November 16, 2017, 06:14:36 PM

Hello. I'm from Italy,so sorry if my english isn't perfect.

When I go in Task Manager I see two "Avast Antivirus(32 bit)" among the processes. I didn't have this before.

I've attached the capture from my laptop here and highlighted (red) the "Avast Antivirus(32 bit)" process that it's new and appeared just yesterday after fixing Avast.

Is this normal??

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Avast but same thing....

No I didn't.
I uninstalled Avast from the start menu/programs. When I reinstalled it,there was only one AvastUI.exe in the Task Manager. But when I turned off the laptop and then back on,the second AvastUI.exe was there again.

It seems it's gone after doing the clean uninstall and reinstall,Pondus. Let's hope so..
