Avast Free will not uninstall, stops at firewall unregistration
« on: October 17, 2017, 09:27:22 AM »
Cannot uninstall Avast Free on Windows 7 Pro, stops at /unregistering /firewall & waited whole day without progress. Tried on Safe Boot with AvastClear, same results. Downloaded another Avast Free & successfully installs/overwrites over old files, but when about to uninstall, stops at the issue above. What could be wrong?

Hi!

This issue has to do with wsc_proxy.exe, I assumed.

Open Task manager, and delete wsc_proxy.exe and again again during uninstallation process.

Good Luck!
