Hello all while I was messing around on my computer today I figured out a solution to this problem. My Secunia is all GREEN now after doing this so I hope it works for others.
First off I downloaded:
avast! cleaner:
http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avastclear.exe
and then I downloaded: (grab whatever version you have)
Download locations
http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe
http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_pro_antivirus_setup.exe
http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_internet_security_setup.exe
http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_premier_antivirus_setup.exe
I then ran avastclear.exe as ADMIN (Right click on Avastclear.exe to select Run as Administrator), it suggested I restart in safe mode to do the removal so I clicked “YES” it restarted the computer in SAFE MODE for me
prompted me to remove avast so I did. Once that was done I rebooted back into NORMAL Windows.
DO NOT REBOOT UNTIL AVAST IS REINSTALLED
I then Ran Secunia and it showed OpenVPN and OpenSSL needed to be updated, I then right clicked on OpenVPN and OpenSSL in Secunia and Selected SHOW Details, it gave me the path to the FILEs that were out dated so I navigated to the directory it said which in my case was C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
I made a Back Up directory called OPENSSL BU, I then moved the following three files (libeay32.dll, libssl32.dll, ssleay32.dll) out of my directory into the back up directory.
I rescanned with Secunia to make sure it was all GREEN now, which it was,
I then proceeded with the NEW Install of Avast and everything is working perfectly fine now, no more Secunia ALERTS
I hope this helps, do not attempt this is you are not somewhat computer Savvy.
