1] Avast doesn't have a firewall.
2] You really have to provide more details.
Like:
What OS?
What exact version Avast?
If you get an error which one?
etc etc etc.

Right click the blue ball with the "A" in it near the clock.
Choose about and look at what version of Avast you have.
It should look like 4.x.xxx

And please do not use so much smileys. It is not need and a bit anoying.

What do you mean by bugged, try to provide as much info as possible, it will help.
Do you have a firewall (not avast), if so what is it?
