Subject pretty much says it. I updated avast and now my screen looks like an old version of windows. Like the old XP or something. Its weird. Ex. The start button is square.

A screenshot would help.. Avast doesn't affect the personalization settings of the Desktop etc

Yeah im a computer idiot. How do I post a screen shot?

Go to Start>All programs>Accessories>Snipping Tool.

Choose a place on your screen to capture. Save the image somewhere.

Under the answer box is an option attachments and other options, you can attach it there.

There's a button on your keyboard called "Print Screen". Press it, and save it as an image document. Add it as an extension to this thread.

I have/had windows 7 on my computer. The start button was a circle now its a square. Everything is "boxy" like an older version of windows

Looks like the Windows 7 theme couldnt be loaded or is broken.

This occurred right after I restarted it after installing the update and has never happened before. Ive had the computer for 5 years so it has to be something with this avast update, should I contact them?

Simple fix... Right click desktop>Personalize>Scroll down to "Basic and High Contrast Themes" and click on "Windows 7 basic".
