firewall

hi can some one help me when i click on firewall it says WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND REBOOTING YOUR SYSTEM FIRST SOME FIREWALL FEATURES MAY ONLY START WORKING AFTER A REBOOT so i reboot and it still reads the same have reboot my pc 3 times and it is still there but it does say my firewall is on .avast internet security. thanks :cry:

do you have any other security programs installed?
did you just install avast?
if so, did you remove your previous used AV according to vendors instructions / removal tool ?
General: Uninstalling a third-party antivirus software http://www.avast.com/en-eu/faq.php?article=AVKB11#artTitle

have you tried avast repair and reboot?
