I have Avast Free version 2015.10.2.2218 installed, did install the next version but had problems with it so left it at that.
I just tried to update this, but got to "Saving package this may take a while" ... then nothing happened, tried twice.
Went to Add / Remove Programs >> "There was an error during product uninstallation", same on re-try.
I've downloaded Avast Uninstall Utility - should I go ahead with this, will it remove all traces?
Recently when I try to install programs I often receive this notice, even with Flash Player, which hasn't happened before:
"This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer"
Have to go to 'Properties' and unblock each download now.
Don't know how to alter this setting or how it got put in place.
I am afraid that if I uninstall Avast Free I might not be able to reinstall it and I'll be left with no antivirus.
XP SP3 OS. Using Windows Firewall and have CryptoPrevent installed, no other security.
Please advise.
