Seems you have to uninstall ALL Comodo products on the system AND SpywareBlaster to get it to install. I was then able to reinstall Comodo and SpywareBlaster after the install of Bitdefender Free.
Did you try blockingI did not reinstall AVG because even though I had tried to install it to avoid any upsell ads it still was throwing too many bogus warnings about only having a basic firewall, etc.
avgui.exe
No, firewall tweaks are above my pay grade right now, but if I have any of the same trouble from Avast I may give it a try. Right now Avast is behaving very well so I will leave well enough alone for the time being.Did you try blockingin windows firewall? This should get rid of most of the ****.Code:avgui.exe
Use the current year paid uninstall tool to remove either paid or free versions after using the built-in uninstaller.BD Free is also very hard to remove. I used it about a year ago but wound up uninstalling it with the dedicated BD Free removal tool. I tried BD Free again last week just to compare it to AVG Free, BD worked ok but I decided not to keep it and had a lot of trouble removing it. It seems BD no longer publishes a removal tool for BD Free, if it does still exist I could not find it anywhere.
I tried that too, thinking maybe BD had integrated the Free tool into Paid version but it did not work. It still left a huge folder called Bitdefender Antivirus on my hard drive. After restoring back to the day before I installed BD and running the junk folders and junk files scan and registry scan with HiBit the folder and some of its contents was still there but I was finally able to manually delete what was left from BD.Use the current year paid uninstall tool to remove either paid or free versions after using the built-in uninstaller.
Uninstall Consumer Paid
Believe me, if @oldschool can do it anyone can do it! Control panel >System & security > windows firewall > advanced settings > outbound rules > new rule and then follow prompts for "program" > "browse", etc. and add AVGUI.exeNo, firewall tweaks are above my pay grade right now, but if I have any of the same trouble from Avast I may give it a try.

Did you use any uninstaller like Revo/HiBit when you tried to uninstall it the first time? If yes then that's when the problem occurs. BD free needs to be uninstalled from Windows's Add or remove programs list. Using dedicated uninstaller software can't remove it or even detect the uninstaller. Uninstalling from Add or remove programs never caused any issue for me.BD Free is also very hard to remove. I used it about a year ago but wound up uninstalling it with the dedicated BD Free removal tool.

It seems BD no longer publishes a removal tool for BD Free, if it does still exist I could not find it anywhere. Even Revo and HiBit could not completely remove BD Free. I had to restore Windows back to an earlier date just to get Defender started again. Even then I had to manually delete some BD registry keys and also used two of the HiBit cleaners and manually delete the leftover BD folders to finally get rid of it.
