It wouldn't hurt to read what the info is for the error under Result column. Expand it and read it. Considering it's a TEMP folder, i'd say the error is file doesn't exist. Because it god deleted during the scan process by the original installer or container.
so wat i do now?

Did you install avast after updating windows? Maybe you have to update windows first and then install avast. Use Windows defender or MSE until you update windows, and them install avast.

I don't know the architecture of avast, but since it's a brand new version, problably a massive windows update is in order. The last time I formatted my laptop, i've had to download almost a 1.5gb of updates. It took hours to download and install. Specially the .NetFramework ones...

But yes, the new avast is full of bugs. At least there are people that try to help  :D

What version of Comodo (v5.xx or v6.x) are you running along with Avast?  Is it just the Firewall / D+ (no Antivirus installed) or the complete Comodo Internet Security suite?  Did you install the whole suite first and then turn off the Comodo AV or did you do a custom install and unchecked the Comodo Antivirus part?
Win7 x32 Ult. SP1, Brain 2.0 / Win10 x64, Brain2.5

Save yourself the madness and headaches... since you are at a point where you have had to REINSTALL WINDOWS... just reinstall windows again and put the old version of Avast back on there...

As you have said multiple times and as is obvious by all the posts... the new version of avast is very buggy.  You are correct in saying that and you are not going crazy and you dont have any viruses

Considering there are 200,000,000 users, the few complaints in here indicate that the program is very stable.
I have no problems on my 5 computers and none on the many at the senior center where it's installed.
Using an old version is foolish and decreases your protection.
Find out the underlying causes and correct those and avast! will work as it should.
