Cannot Install Avast on my MacBook Pro. Previously had Norton/Symantec Internet Security. Followed all vendors instructions for removing product. Have 8 Mac Systems with this problem. Family of 6 with multiple systems. Anyway, Followed instructions from the following Avast post.

Thoughts or assistance is greatly appreciated. I'm looking at moving to Avast as I want AV protection but don't want all the other crap. Struggling to get Avast installed on even a single machine. Thanks.
