Its the Free Avast Home Edition.I had a previous install of McAfee but deleted all from Registry and Windows.No error messages just says Resident Protection not enabled and I cannot seem to enable it.Perhaps Windows Firewall?

Have you already rebooted?
Have you tried a repair of Avast?
Waht happens if you try to start it manually?
