Default 1083 and Avira

I tried to instal 1083 but it stopped and told me I had to uninstal
Avira Antivirus manually as it was an incompatible outdated version
(can't remember exact words). Avira has not been on my computer for a
long time and a thorough search of all program folders, registry and
services found no trace of it.

Eventually I found the only way to get 1083 to instal was to download
and instal the latest version of Avira. 1083 then installed OK. Then I
uninstalled Avira again.

Anyone else had this problem?

Any other way to get around the problem when I tackle my other
computer?

You better do a clean install of 1803, after backing all your data.
In-place upgrade would only complicate things.

Anyway, it's YOUR PC, YOUR choice.

AV companies usually have a "removal tool", which sweeps
remnants of their products, out of your system.

That's what you should be using now, to try to ensure the
next upgrade cycle doesn't cause a repeat of the symptoms.

Google terms:

avira removal tool download

Now, these guys call their cleaner a "registry cleaner".
Pretty weird to have to do this by hand. I couldn't
find a better option than this, to help your OS pass
the "sniff test". Obviously, something is still on
C: ... somewhere.
