Im not able to get to avast support  to get you the download link for the avast removal tool at the moment due to 404 error but you can grab the removal tool from here also, you need to run the tools in safe mode followed by reboots inbetween, the version 6 tool can remove all versions by scrolling to the versions you had installed, reboot back to normal mode when done and install a fresh copy of avast.

when I ran the uninstaller, it cannot remove the program because there was an error.
so it wasnt a complete uninstall.

Log files can be posted by using the attachment and other options at the bottom of where your composing your posts.

What system are you using?

You can also try restoring to before you made your last restore point or before avast was installed.
