I used to have Avast but when I up graded to Windows 10 more than 12 months ago I had terrible trouble with Windows not loading and discovered that by removing Avast and just using Windows Defender the problem went away.
Today i went to scan an individual file and realised tht at some point avast had randomly reinstalled :- I have absolutely no recollection of reinstalling it. If you posted it in a other thread, you did not do it with the same name as you are using here. And what part of "avast doesn't install itself out of the blue" is it that you don't understand? You upgrade to Windows 10 and you had avast installed.
That is what triggered it as has been explained in other threads. That means you did not remove avast completely.
I understand "Avast doesn't install itself" I am a native English speaker and have major in English in my first degree. I have found the other thread I believed I had posted on and I apologise but I somehow stuffed up that post, but it was an old thread anyway so this one is more appropriate.
It was the first one which came up on a google search. When I went to post on the thread I was warned that nothing had been posted in days. Given that there is more than one thread with this kind of topic, obviously other people have experienced a similar issue.
I further apologise if I have upset you in some way. Download Now. Our private browser has advanced security built in, so you can browse, shop, and bank safely on any website. Learn more.
