There should be an option to backup your Avast settings at the bottom of the settings screen.

yea, got it. But does this save really everything or does somethings stay unsaved? What about UI settings, sounds...

is there a removal tool?

avast's setting backup is broken as it only saves 80-90% of the current settings. I have tried with many versions and the result was the same

avast fails to restore global exclusion and some on the main settings UI
nothing changes after a reboot
