Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > uninstall a program > select avast! and click " Uninstall/Change ". Choose " Repair " and Continue. Reboot when finished.
Run avastclear. It will ask you to run it in Safe Mode. Agreed to it. Follow instructions. It will remove Avast from your system. After avastclear has run its course, reinstall Avast. Don’t forget to reboot your system after Avast finnishes the install.
I’ve done what you said, didn’t bother with doing anything else shown on the thread since you just said to download FRST.
Just to recap exactly what i did,
I went to the thread, downloaded FRST, didn’t do anything except press Scan, and saved the two files.
Also, bear in mind that i recently got my PC fixed, had to replace the hardrive. I may have to get it fixed again as the new hardrive has been making noises, and the other day i saw a blue screen (with writing). I’m planning on buying a new PC in the near future as this one is very old (2011 i believe, Dell Inspiron 1545).

Alright, I’ll do what you said and post here with the results once i’m done.
Also, Avast is starting normally, but the shields won’t turn on. The icon on the bottom right is showing a yellow exclamation mark. Avast says “Attention: Some of your real time shields are turned off”. I press Resolve All, and Turn On, neither buttons do anything at all.
