It is impossible to uninstall this shit, I tried everything. It keeps reinstalling.

Then I want to remove the folder in C:, it says I have no permission from SYSTEM. I grant me permission, but even after that it denies.

  Hello Yuki,

  I'm sorry to read that you are having problems to uninstall Avira.

  We've got a knowledge base article that describes step-by-step how to uninstall Avira from your PC:

  • How do I uninstall my Avira product?

  Let me know if that worked for you.

  Hi!

  I followed all your steps in the "uninstallation guide" but it won't work. I get information that "This file is not associated with any app" and it's equally impossible to re-install the program to start it all over again. What kind of shit is this??

  Hello Benny,

  Instead of asking what kind of "shit" this is, it would be useful to provide us further details about your used operating system with exact version number. Also, information about your installed Avira software is a point that helps us to help you.

  So, please come back with useful information and we're glad to assist you.

  Best,

  Don't bother. I've already kicked your program out and it'll never come back. 

  Have a nice week.

  Can't uninstall Avira.

  Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.22621.160) (KB5014770)

  HP Spectre X360

  I've noticed such theses:

  -sometimes I can uninstall Avira. It doesn't show up anywhere, however, on the next reboot it shows up again. On the second reboot, it installs the accompanying bloatware and starts attacking with notifications.

  -sometimes uninstalling Avira gives the warning, that uninstalling it is blocked because of "Antivirus"

  -looks like some bug over PPL process. Please assist. I even started the evaluation period of prime to be able to find support and I want to cancel and delete avira.
