Though your antivirus will no longer work, you will need to complete the uninstallation by removing residual files.Īvast has mostly uninstalled from the system, but it has left some files behind. Avast then proceed to completely uninstall, leaving behind the uninstaller and the registry keys and a few files. When the computer restarts, the Avast OS loads and opens windows in safe mode. Since Avast was the last operating system to install, it becomes the default OS. It will then force the user to reboot the computer in safe mode.
Avast installs a mock operating system in order to complete the uninstallation.
