1. you have avast 4 Home, the Pro version is different and the Home version isn't an extension of it.

2. I suspect you are double clicking the avast icon on the desktop, that isn't how you start the program, it should start automatically on boot. What is it that you are trying to do ?

Is the avast 'a' icon on your system tray ?

3. Pop-ups are usually blocked by your browser or an anti-adware application. Can you expand, what are these pop-ups ?

Which is your Windows? 98, Me, XP?
Do you use any other antivirus in your computer?

Can you try to repair your installation?
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > avast! antivirus > Remove. Then choose Repair function in the popup window (Repair). You must be connected to the internet while repairing.

If this does not help, can you uninstall / boot / install / boot again?

Also it des not block pop ups !! If anyone can help please post here !! Thank you !!

And it won't do at all... avast is an antivirus not a popup blocker...
