Yesterday I turned my PC on and got a blue screen I followed the instructions, and when it all came on again my avast said it was unsecured i hit the FIX NOW button and nothing I tried the start program button and still nothing.. I even took it back to an earlier date and nothing??

what AV did you have before installing avast! ?
have you removed it ?
did you run a removal tool to clear any leftovers ?



Try avast repair and reboot
For a repair of avast. Windows, Add Remove programs, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Change/Remove button from the pop-up window, scroll down to Repair, click next and follow.

McAfee has an uninstall tool that you could run to ensure any possible remnants are removed. Check out this page for removal tool and instructions, http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507

After running that, reboot and see if that allows avast to start. If it doesn't try the repair again, if that doesn't work you will have to reinstall avast.

run McAfee uninstaller and reboot

all tools listed here are the orginal vendor tools....

then you can try avast repair and reboot...
