password/uninstall question
« on: April 05, 2014, 07:23:11 PM »
Carelessly I discarded my aVast password for Settings.  I'm told the only way to set a new password is to uninstall and reinstall aVast (Pro), but a window pops up when I try to uninstall, calling for my password.  If someone is able to suggest a workaround or solution to this, I would be grateful.
