About a month ago my free Avast! stopped updating (it was right when I was notified that a new version was available; I tried to update the program, but it just said "Initializing...." for hours and nothing ever happened. Since I have not been able to update the program OR the virus definitions manually, it's always just "Initializing..." forever). Since it's been over a month without getting updated, I figured I'd uninstall it. Nope, won't work. I keep getting an error and it won't uninstall. Okay....I'll just download the newest version off the website and install that one. Nope. More errors.
Here's the errors I received when trying to install the newest version:
avast! Setup Fatal Error: Error reading product data from "C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\setup\". Setup cannot continue.
Setup Selfextract: An error 0 (00000000) has occured. Last performed operation was: spawning
Can anyone help? As of right now it's useless, yet I can't get rid of it or try reinstalling it.... Frustrating.
