craigathus Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hi all I have noticed that I have 2 listings for 'Avast' under Cleaner > Applications > Utilities 1/ Avast! Antivirus 5 2/ Avast! Antivirus 6 In Tools > Uninstall I have Avast! Antivirus version 7.0.1456.0 listed Am I missing something here ? Could this be some type of bug ? http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted August 19, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 19, 2012 Not a bug, I have this too, and I think it's been mentioned before. It's possibly because there is still an Avast5 folder in the Alwil software program files. Maybe if I had uninstalled 5 before installing 6 it wouldn't be there, maybe not, but it's not a worry.

craigathus Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Thanks Augeas I'm wondering why version 7 is not in the "Utilities" list for cleaning ? http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL_PuSHeR Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 It could be some registry leftovers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 20, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 20, 2012 Probably an "Alwil", or "Alwil Software" registry key left over. With the amount of changes that go into a major version jump in antivirus software I'd personally never install say a version 7 over a pre-existing version 6, 5, 4, etc., as too much is going to change, etc., and crude up the system with left-overs or possibly cause some sort of conflict.
