Not a problem, but it is never as easy as just running the uninstaller.

So I have to uninstall Avast 8 full trial and reinstall it with just the basic free functions. Now there are 2 or more apps dong the same thing on this computer, some free, some paid. It is not free.Īll that was said in to be fair, because the Avast folks are very generous to offer their free AV.īut for me, the installation of the full trial version was a bad idea. It would be a very good all in one security suite, maybe a bit complicated to set up. The full version has lots of features, a firewall, a sandbox feature, a safezone, an antispam feature, and an internet monitor. Just thought I would mention it here in case someone else has to decide 'to try or not to try'. I just installed it on my old win xp computer and decided to run the full version for 20 day trial. I think some of the members here are wondering about the free version 8 of Avast. Paraprosdokian is eggzactly what I was thinking. Take care my friends and thanks for all you do on this forum. Didn't mean to be so long-winded but thought I would make some contribution I guess. I see you have the same setup as I Login which is ironic. My approach is not to go pressing this and that before finding out what happens. Another case of when I finally learned the answers they changed the questions as the old adage says. Amounted to just some different fancy footwork due to the new version.

They got right back to me and explained how to get to the list of scan options and I was straightened out. It drove me nuts for a few days so I contacted Support for help when the Help section in the program failed to explain in enough detail how to run the various scans. When I tried to run a Full Scan it would only do a Quick Scan. The homepage was changed so much and when I tried to run a Quick Scan I clicked on the homepage and pressed the wrong tab and discovered it was set up by default. Just when I was about to grasp Avast v7 they sent me v8 with a whole different facelift. I just popped in to hopefully peruse around the forum and answer PM's and saw this post.
