Avast antivirus cannot be installed

Asked By Wright 10 points N/A Posted on - 08/05/2011

My computer got a virus again, so I installed various Antiviruses (smadav, avira, artav) to eliminate the virus on my computer. (I do not know what virus) Some Antivirus I installed had some success, but the virus was not detected. The Antivirus on my friend's computer, can detect the virus and it is Avast-Antivirus.But why can't I get the avast antivirus installed?

On Setup/Master, When I click install and continue, the first dialog box (install-setup) appears, but instantly disappears.Everytime I click it appears and vanishes.

Avast antivirus cannot be installed

Before installing new antivirus make sure you uninstall the previous. After you uninstall old antivirus, try to start installation process for Avast. If same error appears again I recommend you to download and install Super Antispyware Free version. That is the best option which won’t cost you any money. Update after installing and then scan your PC. No matter what you have there, it will be shown, copied and quarantined.

 

This software will detect and remove any Spyware, Adware, Malware, Trojans, Dialers, HiJackers, KeyLoggers, Parasites, Rootkits, Rogue Security Products and any other type of threats. Best thing is you can keep it running with any Antivirus program you are using. Super Antispyware won’t slow down your computer like other similar products and you can scan any time even when working. After you remove viruses, install Avast.
