That is not removing everything and that can be the problem.

I will use it once iv reinstalled windows 10. It took about 50min last time. I report what happends after that. I will restart 10 times so i can be sure it is working. And i will donwload the avast install software again from thos website so there is no wrong exe. I hope i can get avast on this comp, coz  it has served me many years very good.

Scroll down to "Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop." and follow the instructions.
Attach the two log files (FRST.txt and Addition.txt) to your next post.
Let's see if we can find what is going wrong.

McAfee is not removed.

- Download the attached fixlist.txt and place it in the same folder as where you have Farbar.
- Start Farbar and press "FIX".
- Reboot
- Download THIS avast installer and run it

Let me know if it is working.
