Malaware program not showing on Avast security window

I got a message from Windows security showing my AVAST Malware protection isn’t turned on. I clicked on “Turn on Now” and windows asked me if I wanted to run a visthaux.exe, I said yes, but nothing happened.

My AVAST Interent Security screen says my system is fully protected:

Realtime shields - on
Firewall - on
Definitions auto update - on
virsut definions version - 110321-0
Program version 5.1.889 – it says I need to update it; why doesn’t it auto update
expiration date is 9/21/2011

Below that it says silent gaming is off and network lock is off. I don’t see any way toconfirm if it is protecting against malware…

Usual Windows WMI got broken yet again crap. Easiest way to “fix” it is to do a clean avast! install (uninstall, reboot, install, reboot).
