Avast is turned off in system tray and won't start when using fix now. also when trying to start a scan it says no more end points available.  need to reinstall?

Try a repair and reboot first and if that doesn't work then go ahead with a clean install.

For uninstall use the special avast! uninstall utility, best in safe mode.

Yep, to much treking around for it to have been a relaxing break though but i got a good  tan and a fractured hand while climbing Mt Kinabalu but it was worth it  :)
