I could not renovate my free license, the page did not open, I could not uninstall avast, and I could not download and install avast again, it shows a message saying
an error 3 (0000003) has ocurred last performed operation was spawned >:( :-X :o
does any one have idea what is going out?
it seems to me that a virus has blocked all avast options

Complete the avast! 4 Home Registration form and you will receive an email from register @ avast.com (without the spaces) with your registration key.

Don't uninstall just yet, if needs be follow this procedure, first having downloaded the required programs.

Download the latest version of avast http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again. Use that when you reinstall.

Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, find it here and save it to your HDD.
1. Now uninstall (using add remove programs, if you can't do that start from the next step), reboot.
2. run the avast! Uninstall Utility, reboot.  If step 1 failed it may be necessary to run this from safe mode, once complete reboot into normal mode.
3. install the latest version, reboot.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.6.6121 (build 24.6.9241.848) UI 1.0.809/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

Hi...

To confirm whether this is a virus or not, after uninstalling avast per David's instructions above and before reinstalling avast, please perform the following regimen by Tech, post #4 at this thread...

Along with this, I suggest an online scan be performed...

Hope this helps. :)
