Comodo won't install - Avast still remains

[CraigB]

KevTech@ you didn't feel the youtube video had not already explained it

[REDACTED]

All assistance given appreciated and yes, Craig, the youtube video showed what to do quite adequately. Would have been better without the music as you say and with a spoken narrative rather than typed, but thanks again for helping out on this.

Unfortunately no improvement. Comodo Internet Security still wont install and still shows Avast Internet Security and Avast free as incompatible software , as shown in the extract of the report in my first post. Searching windows explorer and the registry for avast and asw shows nothing. No idea what to do now.

I'm out of ideas, the only thing I can think of is running the Avast and Comodo removal tool again - reboot and try installing a fresh downloaded copy of Comodo.

Comodo still won't install, not even the firewall on its own.

Is it possible there are remnants of older versions of Avast that the current removal tool or Rezjor's cleanup tool won't remove? i think I started using Avast with version 5 through to 9.

Try the older tool (AswClear.exe), works for V4 to V8.

Also check Device Manager " view/show hidden devices " just in case you have an Avast Firewall driver leftover in there as that would be the only reason I can think of for the standalone Comodo firewall to refuse installation.
