Avast backup und re-install
« on: December 16, 2020, 10:07:18 AM »
Hi,

I would like to deinstall and then install again, but want before to backup settings, exeptions, files ...
Shall Avast-settings-troubleshooting-backup save ALL this? Or if not, what does is then save - only the settings?

Is there a avast removal tool?

1. Download Avast Free Antivirus: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup_offline.exe
2. Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions..!!)
3. Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
4. Reboot.

Backup your settings before running avastclear.exe.
In case you have not found "Back Up Settings" it is here:
