Why so many instances? Is it breeding?

What you are seeing is the avast process AvastUI.exe stopping and starting repeatedly.  Avast UI.exe is responsible for the actual Avast Program Window to appear and run on your desktop when you click it, if it fails and starts repeatedly you will see this.  What happens when you click the (AvastUI.exe) icon in system tray?

Please provide information Asyn requested.

An Avast Repair could have been your first option.

Presumably you used the Win10 Control Panel > Programs & Features to Uninstall Avast ?
If so there should have been a Repair option in that screen.
