Unable to reinstall Avast Free Antivirus
« on: April 03, 2020, 08:26:37 AM »
Apologize if I posted in the wrong topic section.

Recently my Avast interface is not functioning, keep auto-closed (most likely due to latest update).
So I uninstall and attempting to reinstall it, however I'm getting "avast installer cannot continue because the last avast operation was performed without restarting".

I already did safemode running avastclear.exe.
I also try to submit report through avastsupport.exe however receive "avast cannot generate support file error code 12002."


System Info:
Package used:web-shield and email-shield.
OS platform: Windows 10 Pro V1909

Other security product:
1. Windows Security (already try disabled when uninstall)
2. Malwarebytes (already uninstalled)
3. Comodo Firewall (only Firewall enabled, others function disabled)

*Note: previously my system already running with Avast web & email shield and Comodo Firewall only.


I hope any support team can assist me with this problem, as the avast log doesn't have details (doesn't provide conflict application).
Thank you

Thanks for reverting.
Will avast analyse and provide fix on next patch/version?
