Hi,
Please try to uninstall using the Uninstall Utility for Avast Antivirus ( https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/10 )
and then re-install Avast Premium Security (https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/Install-Premium-Security)

Hi
Thanks was trying to avoid a reinstallation but it did the trick.
Had to find my key.... and go to mods, to get my anti spam to work on MS outlook again.
Now I'll have to go through and do my settings, for firewall, etc, etc.
bit of a hassle, but at least now it's working again.

Side note, you can export/import your settings.
