Avast! and Windows 8

Hello Everyone,

i am using avast! 2013 free antivirus .My program version is 7.0.1474. I am also using windows 8 pro.

The problem is that as long as the avast shield controls are on, i cannot open settings of windows, as soon as i click on “change pc settings”,it opens for a second and then crashes back to the start screen but when i disable the shield control, everything works normally.
I rely only on avast and don’t want to change my antivirus ,so please give me suggestion about the problem.

thank you.

Do you have disabled Windows Defender?

Which windows functions can’t you access ???
How are you attempting to get to the settings that don’t open ???
