Windows 10: Removing Avast Fully If i Choose to Use Windows Defender

Hello All


Have a little question removing Avast fully is it best to use Revo Uninstaller to remove it or Windows Built in Add/Remove Programs, and it's own uninstall tool


Have an I7 Desktop, I7 Laptop, and AMD A6 3620 APU based systems


Looking for best gaming performance for my hardware, lan performance, and in General system usage, I have read threads on Windows Defender causing high cpu usage, and system restore points daily on tenforums site, so I figured i'd ask her to make sure before I went thru trouble of removing Avast and such

:)

 

How do I remove Avast so I can use Windows Defender?

These are the instructions provided by avast.

• Avast 2016: Uninstallation via the Windows Control Panel <-
  scroll down if you need to use the Avast Uninstall Utility (avastclear.exe)
• Avast 2016: Using the Uninstall Utility
  
• Uninstall avast Antivirus using avast! uninstall utility (avastclear.exe) <-
  recommended to run in safe mode

After removal of the third party anti-virus, Windows 8/10 Defender needs to be
activated if you choose to use it. When uninstalling the third-party anti-virus Defender should automatically turn on. In some cases you may receive a

message indicating your system has no protection...click here to turn on Windows Defender. If not, and Defender remains disabled, you will need to manually turn it on.

Protecting the computer (windows defender,avast, etc)?

Agreed with Firefox w/ Adblock Plus and NoScript. I suggest Antivir. Very trustworthy Antivirus and is less resource hogging the avast. Takes up about 40mb with guard enabled and 30mb with guard disabled.

I say....Good Luck with all that with Avast. I got rid of Avast when it got in a fight with Windows 8.1. AND....customer support is a robot at Avast that only lets you have the info they want you to have. I never got to talk with a human being that could
help with any specific problem.....I got the run-a-round instead back to the robot. So if you want and like Avast, good for you. Best of luck.
