Windows 11 unable to uninstall Avast
Hi
I was using paid version of Avast One 64 bit, but after a year I cancelled membership. .I installed Avast clear that is supposed to work to completely uninstall but was still getting popups from Avast constantly. Then I tried another uninstaller. It seemed to fix the problem; that was a few months ago .
Now the popups are back claiming I have a virus, and if I renew subscription, they will run antivirus. The popups are constant ; such that I can't use the computer to do anything. I am quite happy with Windows Defender. How do I get rid of Avast popups? I would certainly appreciate any help anyone could offer.

If popups occur in browsers, reset browser settings or reinstall the browsers to remove any residual adware or malicious scripts.

Since you've already tried a different uninstaller, remnants are likely still present. The most reliable method is to use Avast's own tool, avastclear.exe, but it must be run in Safe Mode for a complete cleanup.
