In some situations, the installed anti-virus program may not even miss the installation of a competitor on a computer, mistaking it for a virus threat.

To remove the antivirus, we recommend that you use no standard method uninstallation of programs provided in Windows OS, and a special Revo program Uninstaller, which will allow you to perform a comprehensive removal of the product from your computer, taking with you absolutely all the remaining folders, files and registry entries.
After completing the removal of the antivirus, be sure to restart your computer, after which you can try to install the Avast antivirus.

One of these utilities is free tool from famous developer anti-virus software, which is aimed at finding and removing viruses, but does not require installation on a computer.
Please note that the efficiency of the system scan will increase significantly if you perform the scan from under the secure Windows mode... To do this, download the CureIt utility and then send the computer to reboot. At the very early stage of its launch, start quickly and repeatedly pressing the key F8 until the operating system startup type menu appears on the screen. You will naturally need to choose "Safe mode".
When the system starts up in safe mode, run run checks antivirus utility... With such a scan, viruses will be in hibernation, which means that the likelihood of finding and eliminating a threat increases.
Reason 4: Windows Firewall settings
Windows Firewall is a defender built into the operating system that takes over the functions of an antivirus if there is none on the computer.
For some reason, the firewall may mistake the installed antivirus for a threat and not skip its installation. In order to check this, try temporarily disabling the firewall.
Reason 5: failure of the operating system
Failure can occur by different reasons: due to the installed software, viral activity, various conflicts... In this case, you should try to fix this failure so that the installation of the antivirus is correct.
And finally
If no method has been able to solve the problem with installing Avast antivirus on a computer, we can only advise a radical, but also the most effective method solutions to the problem - reinstall the operating system. As a result of reinstallation, you will return the computer to normal operation, and you can finally install the antivirus.
And without waiting for the continuation you promised, As, I decided to independently install this anti-virus program on my home computer, but ran into some ambiguities. The installer downloaded from the official website www.avast.com/ru, then installed it on your home computer this program, but it turns out that it still needs to be registered. I coped with this, now I can not figure out the settings. Specifically, I am interested in the Sandbox function or sandbox, many people are talking about it now, this is a kind of virtual environment in which you can run any suspicious program without fear of infecting the entire system if something happens. So, it is in the settings, but I don’t understand whether it works or not. And I still can't find one useful function like Scan at boot, they say it is very good remedy from ransomware banners and if it is enabled, Avast checks boot files before loading Windows itself. I would be grateful for any help. Maksim.
