In uncommon cases Avast Antivirus will not be eliminated as expected by standard uninstallation or may turn out to be generally adulterated, leaving you with undesirable records and non-utilitarian antivirus. This is the way to safeguard your PC without reinstalling Windows.

Luckily, Avast takes care of you for even this possibility, with the avastclear programming expulsion instrument.
