Ok igor so now it is my computer and Operating System that is at fault, which happens to be Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. Fully maintained by myself with no problems with Avast or script errors, right up to the point where Avast advised me that a new version was available and did I want to download and install it.
I immediately gave it permission. Previously to this my Avast was running perfect with no Simple User Interface popping up, mainly because I had put a tick in its box telling it not to. Now with the new version installed and my computer rebooting, starting Avast 4.7 all of a sudden I get a script error, which you say and I quote.
“The introductory avast! help is actually not avast! "code", it's an ordinary HTML page with a simple script. So, if it doesn't work, it cannot really be avast! problem - but rather a problem with HtmlHelp / scripting on your OS, sorry”
So as I didn’t write the code for the introductory avast, I guess somebody else must have done, also remembering I hadn’t made any alterations in the meantime to my computer.
Putting the tick in the box didn’t stop it appearing time after time and I would like to make it explicitly clear I made no alterations to my computer. I also think you never ever answered Nicola S question from this posting either. See here

“Dear Experts,
Will anyone help me in fixing that annoying issue with the Introductory Help?
which pops up every time I launch my Avast Home Edition?
Other users have the same problem....
is there a real solution to it?”
Thank you

Other than that I can’t say anything else on the subject, I will leave that for people to draw their own conclusions.
