Issues with Avast
« on: February 07, 2019, 01:48:55 AM »
I am reposting this in this page since I posted it in the virus and worms page instead of this one accidentally, so my machine is clean of viruses I also have Malwarebytes (it's the free version) and so nothing is blocking it from downloading, I decided to delete Avast cause it wouldn't open and had a error saying "this application has failed to start because it's side by side configuration is incorrect"'so I deleted it and tried to reinstall it which failed and got the error "there was an error while completing the setup process" and used Avasts uninstall tool and thought it was cause of my bad internet so I tried the offline installer and it still failed and got the error "there was an error while completing the setup process" and changed my dns to googles dns which failed cause I got the same error as last time, can someone please help me

Avast free antivirus, I'm unsure what version I had before I deleted it I haven't updated it in awhile due to my slow internet but I'm trying to install the newest version. I'm using Windows 10 and my PC is a 64 bit, I have Malwarebytes, Malwarebytes adwcleaner, and FRST, I haven't used any other av before avast on this pc
