Windows 10: Unable to reinstall Avira antivirus software after removing corrupted program

Program would not fully update. When proceeding to update at around 60% or thereabouts would see : "Updating -2147483648%"

This went on for several weeks with no real slow down in this computer's performance but never updating the anti virus files either. Then after uninstalling the program and trying unsuccessfully to reinstall it I've reached the point realizing I need some serious help from someone who is much more clever than I am regarding computer software and this computer's registry. When trying to reinstall the Avira software would see the following and do so still when computer is turned on: "The file list contains unreachable files: rscdwld.exe (Error code 9)

Avira Antivirus removal

I'm trying to install a windows update and it asks me to remove Avira Antivirus - I can't find it on my laptop. I have tried the various options as suggested in other threads. Now what?

Yes, the install was corrupted the first time you tried to install it most likely. Now the system does believe it is installed and/or can't find the Uninstaller; however, the program scanner can still find the program folder.

Does the software work and just listed repeated? If so, use CCleaner. Under tools and Uninstaller (I think) you can delete the install listing with uninstalling anything.

If the software does not work, then you are going to have to start the uninstaller from something else like Ccleaner, directly from the program folder, or some other third party app. Then reinstall the software after a restart.

If that fails. Delete the program folder and user folder (Optional). Then run the uninstaller. It will say software not installed...blah blah, remove this listing? Click Yes. Then restart, reinstall.
