Avast no longer works

Hi all, I installed avast 2015 “free” and it worked for a week or so but now I cant enable the shield and it wont scan or anything, when I click the scan button it say’s “access denied” I tried reinstalling it and using the special “avast uninstaller” and then installing it again and yet nothing seems to fix this problem, can someone help me fix this please :-\

Have you tried an Avast Repair?

  1. Control Panel > Add/Remove programs → Avast
  2. Click on Repair
  3. Follow instructions
  4. Reboot

Have you other security related software installed?
