Hello!!!
I have been using Avast for 2 years now and last month I decided to remove it and use the default Windows Defender (I am currently running Windows 11). After restart it seems to be uninstalled but after shutting my PC off and opening it again the next day, avast is there. Asking for renewal and more!
I just don’t want this avast running in my Computer anymore.
I already used Avastclear, but still not enough. What should I do now? my restore point is only back in 8/29/2024, which already has avast in it.
Hope someone can help me
I’ve had the same problem only Avast was getting ready to expire and was sending me a popup about every hour I was on line. I tried to find a place to send a nasty message to, but of coarse there isn’t one. After searching for answers to remove Avast (because you can’t easily) this is what I found. Right click Windows sign, go to apps and uninstall Avast and all it’s tenacles I had about 3 related Avast properties. Restart your computer because it’s still there and uninstall all again and restart. The 2nd uninstall seems to be the trick to the removal. Avast becomes the virus as far as I’m concerned. It’s been successful so far. Good luck!
CCleaner will sneak it aboard, which is why CCleaner can also go away forever.
I just uninstall the avast then restart and uninstall it again?
That’s what I did, but make sure when you’re uninstalling you get all of the Avast parts. In my app list there was about 3 Avast apps, virus, vpn protection and something else . They were listed close to each other. When researching how to get rid of Avast, the article said Avast will reinstall itself if you don’t do it twice! Good luck.
