hI JohnnyBob one of the things that I would suggest in the future when installing a new version over a an old version it is always a good idea to first off uninstall the old version of avast or antivirus first with the Uninstall Utility and then do a clean install of the new version of the antivirus whether it is avast or another antivirus. This prevents or may prevent problems or issues with installing a new version of avast over an old version. I just thought I should give you some advice for future consideration.
