On the top right, click on Avast icon, click on Open Avast Security. This will open the GUI
While GUI is focused, go to menu, click on Avast Security->Uninstall Avast Security

There should not be any trick in it. Open the app, go to the top left corner of your screen, and close to the "apple icon" you will see "Avast Security" menu. Choose "Uninstall" from the menu and uninstallation process will start...

Quality is also a feature.

Hi. I need help. I want to uninstall the free avast from my Mac but I don't remember the password I used. My wife has paid for an anti-virus subscription (not avast) but it wont install until avast is deleted. HELP. The Mac is running OS X El Capitan.
