I had to download Avast Security to use the wifi on my school's campus, but it wasn't working once I installed it, so I uninstalled it. I tried re-installing Avast and installing AVG, but each time, my Mac says that I need to uninstall Avast first. Avast does not appear in my applications or anywhere in my finder, so I am confused as to what I should do. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
This is for my 2021 Macbook Pro

third party software— did you use the official uninstaller(?) Look for a built-in or in-app uninstaller and use that,
not all uninstallers are 100% effective therefor places to look for pieces, Finder>Go>Go To Folder copy & paste each location:
/usr/local/
/Library/Application Support/
/Library/LaunchDaemons/
/Library/LaunchAgents/
reboot after manual deletions and compare your results
Thank you!
I originally used the installer, but I was able to manually delete a couple of files that were still left on my mac by using the file locations you provided. Thanks again, much appreciated!

Good computing mmleggett , sounds like it resolved your issue
Macbook Pro says AVAST Antivirus Security is still installed- but it isn't
