Avast Browser Won't Open/Run

I haven’t had the time to push Avast support to retract the multiple anti-virus nonsense and address the problem. For now what I’ve done is set up shortcuts to websites. When I click on one of them, Avast browser open at that site because I still have Avast browser as the default browser. Once the browser is open to that site, I can direct it to any other site by pointing to a url. Not the way it should work but I just have not had time to push Avast Support to fix it..
