About This App

Uninstall Avast is a helper utility bundled with Avast Security (a popular free antivirus and security suite for macOS). It provides a built-in removal tool that allows users to uninstall Avast Security from their Mac, including the ability to clean up related system processes and configuration files left behind after the main antivirus app is removed. This utility is part of Avast's installation rather than a standalone application.

Uninstall Avast is not a standalone application — it is a helper component bundled inside the Avast Security antivirus suite. There is nothing to update separately for this utility. If you want to use it, open the main Avast Security application, click Avast Security in the menu bar, select Uninstall Avast Security, and follow the prompts. If Avast Security itself runs natively on Apple Silicon, its uninstaller will work correctly. If you are running an older Intel-only version of Avast Security under Rosetta, the uninstaller will continue to function, but Avast Security will not run at all once Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). To ensure you are on a current native build of Avast Security before uninstalling, check the vendor's download page or use the in-app update mechanism.
