I personally wouldn’t re-install to the non-standard folders as this may be causing some of the problem, just use the default folder as you have.
Lets try not to introduce other issues like eicar, zone alarm, or anything unrelated to this problem until we resolve this problem.
(1) I have checked what I have in my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and the data value is C:\PROGRA~1\ALWILS~1\Avast4\ashDisp.exe try that.
(2) As I have mentioned before, that will only work until you next boot and because the .….….…\Run is empty, no icon. Hopefully manually entering the value into the Run avast value data will resolve it.
