I reran the same CCleaner installer again to see if there were any Avast offers available, and there were none. I double checked and do not have any Avast installers in my downloads folder, or anywhere else.
#AVIRA VS AVAST REDDIT 2017 INSTALL#
So I uninstalled Avast after verifying that Windows Programs and Features showed the Avast install date as today.
I really don't recall seeing any pre-checked Avast offers on the screen. Then shortly afterward I noticed an Avast icon in my system start menu, and an Avast notification icon in my system tray. Then I checked the advanced install option and everything looked good, so CCleaner updated to the latest version 5.40. I submitted to VirusTotal to verify the file.
#AVIRA VS AVAST REDDIT 2017 UPDATE#
I had only downloaded the update to CCleaner Free via the company website, which directed me to FileHippo for the installer. I run Avast on another computer, but not this one.
I just had this happen today, with a computer already running Bitdefender AV. I believe you that it may not have uninstalled completely. Additionally there are many paid out subscription programs available, therefore theres something for everyone. The free trial allows you to use the application for 7 days before you need to pay for a complete version. For over 12 months the only anti virus software operating was Windows Defender with no sign of AVAST in context menus, notification trays or task manager. When it comes to AV antivirus, TotalAV is one of the better options. It is my recollection that I did remove AVAST after installing Windows 10 because it was not until I removed AVAST that Windows 10 would function. When programs whatever they are seem to install themselves it is a little bit of a worry which is why I went searching in the first place. I further apologise if I have upset you in some way. Given that there is more than one thread with this kind of topic, obviously other people have experienced a similar issue. (It was the first one which came up on a google search.) When I went to post on the 2015 thread I was warned that nothing had been posted in 120 days. 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 2015 thread anyway so this one is more appropriate. The simple fact is that I did not to my recollection reinstall AVAST but it is there. I understand "Avast doesn't install itself" I am a native English speaker and have major in English in my first degree.
