I am wondering if this web rep crash is the same message that inspired the original post... I can't recall now if it said web rep crashed or just avast crashed.
As far as I can tell things are working ok the only goofy thing was my hotmail account was messed up on the sign in page my messages were on top of the sign in page before I signed in.. page over top of a page... the next time I used hotmail it would be gone then come back then be gone... thought it was a hotmail issue... Have not noticed it lately.

Combofix reported that Avast was functioning normally so it looks as though it is the GUI that is missing.  A repair should fix that 

Go to control panel > Programs and Features
Select Avast and that page will appear

I clicked repair... got this message:
if this program did not uninstall correctly try uninstalling using settings that are compatible with your versions of windows
Program : Unknown
Publisher: Unknown
Location: C:\programFiles\Avast software asw Run Dll.exe

Is this normal?  sorry it is taking me long I have to write all down then copy it here...
it also has an unintalled correctly with a green arrow... I did not think I was uninstalling anything? 
press the green arrow or not?

OK lets fully remove Avast cleanup and re-install

Download Avast from here to your desktop http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe

Download aswClear from here http://files.avast.com/files/eng/aswclear.exe

Uninstall Avast via Control Panel > Programs and Features
Reboot to safe mode and run aswClear
Return to normal mode and install Avast

Reboot the computer and as soon as the power is applied press and hold F8 a menu will appear.  Select safe mode
