Windows 10: Cannot unistall avast.

So i upgraded to windows 10 from windows 7. I had as antivirus avast, now i want to unistall it but windows is coming up with an error "this program has compatibility issues.
So what can i do now?

:)

 

Cant access my pc since i updated to windows 10 is there a fix ?

try to unistall AVAST,thank me later

 

W 10 and "WindowsUpdate_8007002C" "WindowsUpdate_dt000" Error Code 8007002C-4000D

Same here: unistalled Avast, restarted, updated.

 

Look here.........
Google

 

Yeah that utility bring up the same error as when you try to uninstall it through the windows one.
Though i busted my ass off thinking and got a fair solution.
Im leaving this here if anyone encounters my issue and wants a fix.
You have to reboot windows 10 to safe mode by clicking restart while holding shift.
Then proceed to delete the folder manually and afterwards run the avast clean up utility : Avast Uninstall Utility | Download aswClear for Avast Removal
Then proceed to reboot and everything is fixed.

 

Then install an AV program that WILL work with Windows 10........ AVG 2015 FREE does.
I use it, and it's far better than Avast.

*Cool

 

Why?. . .There is already a perfectly good one already built in. . .albeit your always right so I guess AVG is the best in the world. . .*really

 

Seems you didn't read my first post. I said i had it installed on windows 7 and i upgraded , didn't do a clean install.

 

Avast has a free uninstall proggy you can down load. Avast has a AV that works on 10.

 

Avast internet security has worked for me on Windows 10 version's 9926, 10041, and 10049 with no compatibility issues. (turn off defender and windows firewall, that is recommended by avast or you will get bsod's.)

 

I use Avast Premier and mine works fine, it maybe cause it's the free version and there not so up to date with the patches. Did you try CCleaner as that would uninstall it better or maybe Avast Cleanup tool?

 

CCleaner simply runs the program's built in uninstaller, No different than going to programs and clicking uninstall.

 

Avast has a program to do that, avastclear. It removes all traces of it. OH and the latest release of Avast works great in Windows 10.

 

Eagle I am running build 10074 one problem I am having is Macrium Reflect for image and backup. it seems that Defender needs an exclusion and no help on this so far. even the co. is still working on a new rel when 10 comes out.
I found where to turn off defender but not sure about windows firewall.
I also found that when you turn off Defender that the system will turn it back on after a period of time. Current build 10074
where is that one located? don't need the BSOD.
Thank You
