I have tried everything in there forums and nothing works even manually removed everything by hand still no good none of the services will start.

Hi tsavino!

Did you already try to make a completely clean installation?

- Remove avast! via Add/Remove in the control panel.
- Run the avast! uninstall utility
- Download a new installation file and install avast! again with that one.

If that doesn't work I would recommend to download and run Malwarebytes Antimalware and/or Superantispyware.

Update ran the Malwarebytes Antimalware it found a bunch more removed them restarted and avast now works thanks for the help:)


"I did the scan with the programs they a lot or spyware and removed the but still can not get avast to load and I still get that error :'( Any other things I can try??"
