Ive tried upgrading and removing program several times doesnt work. Ive used the tool on avast website to remove program on safe mode that doesnt work either.

Did you follow each step? It has been known to work...every time. Don't forget to clean up with CCleaner http://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

If you cant remove avast via the normal uninstall programs then you will have to run the uninstaller http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility from safe mode, the uninstaller will remove all versions of avast ( but you need to choose which version ) with reboots inbetween.

Complete instructions on removing one antivirus and installing avast!
can be downloaded from http://goo.gl/amZ50 (http://goo.gl/amZ50).
In your case simply choose Removing avast!4.8 and Installing avast!6
