I can't update or uninstall avast from my pc

[bouk1981]

I have installed avast v 6.0.1367 in my pc and i use windows vista. I neither cannot update my program nor uninstall it. When i try to uninstall the program from my control panel, it appears this message: Error reading product data from "c:/program files/alwil software/avast5/setup/".Setup cannot continue. What should i do?

2. Uninstall Avast by control panel  [If you don't have Avast in control Panel go to #4]
3. Uninstall in Safe Mode using Avastclear.

4. Run Rejzors Uninstall Utility in Normal Mode (removes traces avastclear doesn't) - reboot.
