Avast removal tool

I have been caught by the problems with version six where no matter what I do to install it, the second start of my computer after installation it all locks up. I am currently taking the risk of no virus software at all for the first time in many years of computing!When I first started having problems I read someone recommend installing version 5 as being a way to get round this till avast fix the new install but wondered if that meant all of the version 5 releases on filehippo or if there was one in particular I should install?I’m using XP Home, SP3.Thanks in advance for any help. Don���t want to have to go back to AVG, I migrated to avast only a year ago and was fine till this release.

There’s only so many times I like do do hard restarting of my computer.I used the avast removal tool and the AVG removal tool that someone kindly posted, in case some parts of AVG were still left installed. Though I run CCleaner from time to time so not much rubbish hangs around for long.When I first had issues with Avast I had tried uninstalling Spybot and haven’t put that back yet.Also in the same thread advising the AVG removal tool I followed the advice to install Malwarebytes Anti Malware.My firewall is Zonealarm vs 9.2.57.0 DJBone March 10, 2011, 8:29am 4 You might give the new version a chance, because it solved a problem with Zonealarm compatibility as you can see in the first post from vlk.DJBone system March 10, 2011, 9:44am 5 There is a new Avast Uninstaller Tool now from the one previous posted in this thread: Please use this one for uninstalling ALL versions and products of Avast from now on. Thank you. if you try the new beta version and still have problems then use the removal tool safesurf suggested…now if you want the best previous version of avast i would say its 5.1.889 i currently
