Title: Uninstall?
Post by: Yezinki on December 15, 2008, 08:29:45 AM

Hi there,

How can one uninstall Avast totally from the machine including registry keys, files etc, to install a newer version of Avast or any other AV software, as if it was never installed in the first place?

Does Avast has any Removal tool utility?

Thanks.

You can uninstall it from the usual place - Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs.
And, there is certainly no need to uninstall avast! before installing a new avast! version.

Ok thanks for clarifying.

I read members having issues with updating to a newer version?

I know some have had problems updating to a new version, but I or none of the other systems I take care of have.
