Avast unsecured after System Restore - and won't let me turn it back on

This is my first post here, and I’m probably not doing this correct, but I hope someone can help.

This morning AVAST mistakenly removed my Photoshop 6.0. After an hour-long phone call with support, I did a System Restore (to 2 days ago) and got Photoshop back.

However, now AVAST is “Unsecured” and won’t let me start it again. It keeps asking if I want to allow this program to make changes to my computer, and I keep clicking “Yes” - but it keeps on asking!

I tried the solution mentioned here but got this error message: “Error processing packages: 0X20000011.”

I have Windows 7, 64 bit.

Can you help me, please?

Thanks,
Bess
