The Smart Scan is also a part of the free version and works on my systems.

As suggested by mikaelrask this could be an issue in downgrading to the free version.

You could also try a repair of avast:
XP - Add Remove programs, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Change/Remove button and select Repair, click next and follow.

Vista, win7 or later - Control Panel, Programs & Features, uninstall a program, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Uninstall/Change and select Repair, click next and follow.

You may need to reboot after the repair.

mikaelrask...

   When I run the scan its at 0% and never moves...When I had the pro..it was about to run out and I couldnt find my info to change my account info..and it ran out before I could get it..so I downloaded the free and then went to the 20 buck  version from there..(didnt have a phone at the time so didnt call)

DavidR..

 Gonna see what mikaelrask has to say then will try to fix it and if it wont work I guess i will have to jot my info down and uninstall and reinstall...

  Thank you both...will let u know what happens :)
