Perform another (re)boot and see if the problem is solved.
If not perform a repair of avast.
start > control panel > software > avast > add/remove > choose repair

Did the reboot, still not connected. It's telling me I have 0 days of registration. NO, I have no other av on my computer. I don't see anything that says REPAIR in control panel. If I can't get this fixed, will I have to remove avast and re-install

Go to Control Panel>Programs and Functions>Install or uninstall a program>Double click on Avast in the list

In the window that pops up choose repair at the bottom.

Try a uninstall and reinstall. Just do what i said above but hit remove now.

Then restart and run this tool: http://files.avast.com/beta9x/avastclear.exe

Choose your installation path where you installed Avast.

if no success, then perform a reinstall

I really don't know if it's beta or not, how can I tell? I usually stay away from the betas so probably not. It's the free version.
