Control Service Failed to Start

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

I get the attached message each time I start my computer. How do I correct this? And is Avast functioning anyway?

Is your avast installation correct?
Seems that it’s 4.8 version related.
Maybe you should use avast uninstall to remove traces of the 4.8 version if you’re using the 5.

I tried the Avast Uninstall and it won’t let me. See attached.

Go to PROFILE then Modify Profile then Forum Profile Information then Please select your country: then Signature: and put information about your system just like my signature about your system just like my signature so that the helpers can offer pertinent advice.

Thanks for the suggestions, but the removal tool fouled my computer up so I had to use restore, remove 4, then install 5, uninstalle 5, then install 5 again. All is working well now.
