There are currently 2 security softwares I have installed on my system: Malwarebytes (14 day premium trial) and USB Disk Security.

Malwarebytes shouldn't be an issue, not sure about the other USB security program.

You could try disabling both to see if the Avast uninstaller will download/run

OK, you need to update your XP to SP3, else Avast won't run.

The latest versions need SP3.

No need for an older version, just update your XP.

Fine. I will have my new laptop anyways on Monday ^.^ (Dell Inspiron i5559)

Thanks for your support! I'll use AVG for now.

BTW, my laptop lag spikes on SP3 so that's why I'm using SP2

Nvrmd, I think my system doesn't support any existing anti virus anymore :C but I will still be an AVAST Supporter! :D

Guess I will have to stick with MBAM. I have read that Avast and AVG will team so I guess AVAST's future will be the best! More likely to be the best free anti virus as of 2016! :D
