Windows Action Center is saying avast! is not turned on. When I click to turn avast! on it does nothing. avast! itself is telling me my system is secured. When I first got my system, one month ago, I had a free trial of Mcafee so I told avast! to run as a secondary. I recently uninstalled Mcafee and purchased a year of avast! Iām not sure what caused this problem or how to fix it. Would really appreciated any help you guys can give me. Thanks!

Completely remove McAfee:

Reinstall Avast! as your principal AV.
Download and save to your desktop aswclear : http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility
Download and save a fresh copy of Avast!. Be sure to have your lincense handy if running a paid version:

http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_internet_security_setup.exe
http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_pro_antivirus_setup.exe
Use aswclear.exe in safe mode for any Avast! you may have had before and then for v. 7. Reboot after each uninstall.
Reinstall fresh copy of Avast! and reboot.
