Doesnt that model have 1366 x 768 screen. That is same as my laptop. Avast UI is big but is not greater than 1366 x 768 pixels. Have you set screen to max resolution?

Not according to the data provided by 'mikeyww' in the code screen, it is 1024x168 @ 120 DotsPerInch.

There is a bit of a screen resolution hack:
Avast Installation Screen too big for low resolution monitor - A hack that you can try (curtesy of bob3160), see video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM0SQyuk7_4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM0SQyuk7_4)

I had to use this in an old system - Acer Aspire One, Win7 Starter (32bit) 10.1", 1024X600 screen and that worked to at least get past that and then restore normal resolutions.

My bad. Didn't pull down the slider to reveal screen res data.  :-\

No problem, at first I thought it was an image rather than a code box with the scroll bar.
