Which was your old antivirus, before avast?
Any other security program that could interfere?

Difficult to guess... Something is interfering...
How much RAM do you have?

Did you use the avast uninstall utility (http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility) after you uninstalled in Add/Remove Programs?
If you have any remnants of other security software, be sure to use their removal tools that can be found here (http://uninstallers.blogspot.com/).
