My mother had Avast Internet Security installed with a license(I think, I can't really remember). I need it uninstalled.
OS: Windows 8
Steps I have tried:
Downloading Avast's Uninstalled (Avast Clear)
Running it in Safe Mode. Leaving the directory default.
Choosing Avast Secutiry. Also chose free. Also chose pro.
Once I boot back, there are still remnants of files leftover.
For example:
folder: amd64_avast.vc140.crt_fcc99ee6193ebbca_14.0.25325.0_none_586e9d411a1940c6 in C:\Windows\WinSxS
folder: x86_avast.vc140.crt_fcc99ee6193ebbca_14.0.25325.0_none_a01bd4182e9569cc in C:\Windows\WinSxS
more of the above.
folder: avast! sandbox in C:\
file: amd64_policy.14.0.avast.vc140.crt_fcc99ee6193ebbca_14.0.25325.0_none_4b5d1834d3072800 in C:\Windows\WinSxS\Manifests
A lot of the ones above.
These folders: amd64_avast.vc140.crt_fcc99ee6193ebbca_14.0.25325.0_none_586e9d411a1940c6 in C:\Windows\WinSxS, I changed owner from TrusterInstaller to Admin in order to delete them.
I have also tried Revo Pro. No luck. I have also tried reinstalling Avast Free and trying Avastclear. Should I perhaps try the trial for internet security instead?
Look, this has been quite frustrating. I need windows defender to work and it won't because I assume it still detects traces of Avast. Help get rid of Avast, or at least enough of it to allow windows defender to take over. Thanks you for any help.
