Avast 2015 uninstall

[REDACTED]

Last month I installed the latest Avast version and I have been plagued by issues since then. I tried to uninstall it but one of the issues is that the program permanently asks me to restart the computer. (And keeps doing so after I restart.)

Whenever I try to uninstall Avast, I receive a warning that I cant do so because the computer was not restarted after my last operation. Obviously, the warning remains even after I restart my machine, so I am stuck.

Anybody can help to get rid of this ****? I run an encrypted dual core 2000 machine with XP pro installed.

All help appreciated!

Hi Gurthang

Have you tried the Avast! Uninstall Utility ?
Run the Uninstall Utility and accept the reboot to safe mode.
Once complete reboot your system.

That said, what issues do you have ?
If you explain them to us, we maybe can help you better

Hi Rednose,

thanks for the link and for your kindness. I am going to reinstall Avast 2014 which worked just fine. I have a lot of minor issues besides the one detailed above. For example, Avast 2015 takes almost 10 minutes to load when I turn on the computer (after everything else has loaded), Windows Explorer crashes frequently, Avast interferes with Truecrypt whenever I mount and/or dismount volumes, and so on.

Too many problems to try solving them. I rarely experienced so many bugs in one single program. Perhaps the 2015 edition is not really made for XP.

Remove avast completely and install the newest 2016 version.
It works fine on XP.

I tried the 2016 version but it does not improve on the situation 

Rednose, I appreciate your helpfullness, but the issues are too many and I am no comp wiz. I'll move to another antivirus, probably Avira. Thanks anyway.

Why not tell the problems and let us try to help you solve them ?

Using the 2016 version does not solve the problems or excuse the mess.This is poor testing on the behalf of avast.But in the immortal words of oscar wilde."experience is a name people give to their mistakes.

It would help if you elaborate on what problems you have...

That would help much and maybe post is pointless anyway .....
