Avast will not install in macOS

[LiamDouglas]

I am unable to install Avast in my M1 Mac mini. Every time I try to run I get, cannot install, already installed on system, but I have never had it installed on this Mac before.

NO reply? Is Avast not compatible with M1 or is it macOS Ventura?

Hello,
it seems you have previously already installed Avast, and have not uninstalled it properly. Or you have used some kind of backup/migration software that did migrate only part of the installation.
I would try deleting it's files by opening Terminal app and running the following two commands in it:

Code: [Select]

sudo rm -rf  /Applications/Avast.app
sudo rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Avastafterwards it would be best to restart your Mac; this should be enough cleanup to allow a subsequent installer to run properly.
Kind regards,

Second command fixed it, thanks!
