I went to the Programs & Features part of the Control Panel and found avast, but there was no repair option when I selected it. What do?
Also, running Windows 7.

1. Premier
2. 2014.9.0.2011, the most recent version, as I updated it just last night
3. Windows 7, 32-bit, I believe. What's an SP?
4. Super Anti-Spyware, which I installed last night as well, and promptly uninstalled this morning due to avast! acting up.
5. Er... does Windows Security Essentials count?

SP means Service Pack. SP1 would be the latest for W7. Do you have it installed..??
