interface. It happens because of limited or inconsistent permission to write on
disk, folders or Windows registry as it prevent Avast Setup from any activity
like installing, updating, deleting etc. And if in case any of such files and
entries are corrupt then you might lose some of its components or it may hamper
Avast performance.
