If you want to reinstall Avast, always do clean install :

Download the Avast Uninstall Utility to your desktop.
Download the correct version of Avast : 

Avast Free
Avast Pro
Avast Internet Security
Avast Premier

Disconnect from the internet.
Uninstall Avast via control panel.

Run the Uninstall Utility and accept the reboot to safe mode.
Once complete reboot your system.
Reinstall Avast.

Greetz, Red.

So just a quick status report.

Avast updated and wiped all custom settings (hurrah >:(. Firefox seems to take just as long.

Does anyone know how to get it to stop wiping settings on update.
