New avastclear - warns about antivirus in end
« on: June 17, 2015, 05:27:52 PM »
When using the uninstall tool after uninstalling Avast the normal way, it warns about present antivirus. It should not do that because user is not installing Avast, but uninstalling/cleaning remnants.

But you shouldn't install more than one Antivirus ;)

Yeah I know. I think I did not express myself that good :)

1. I uninstalled Avast IS beta
2. Restarted PC
3. Installed Panda new beta
4. Restarted PC
5. Ran Avastclear.exe (from beta thread) and got that screen in the end. I was not installing avast - so there is no conflict.

Ok :)

Than that message is strange indeed.

Personally I would have run the avast uninstall utility as step 3 not installing Panda.

This would ensure everything of avast was gone before installing the new AV.

I think this may possibly be because the uninstall utility may believe another AV would imped its work.

Yeah that is what I would usually do. I just forgot and it turns out I may have found a bug :)
