Problem w/Avast 5.0 not starting

[crzyallday]

I downloaded Avast 5.0 and in the current status box says "Unsecured" and when I push FIX NOW it won't.  I've run newest ver. of CCleaner.  Read another post which said to "open/expand the section" but don't know how to do that?  I hope somebody can help because I have no protection.   Novice with computer so please make it simple.  :'(

Windows XP Media Center, Pentium 4, 2.8 Ghz, 1.99 GB RAM, Firefox,  AdBlock Plus and have added Avast as an exception, allowed Avast to install add-ons in case that was the problem.

Control panel, add/remove programs, change/remove Avast - there's an option to repair the installation.  Try that.

Repair didn't help.

I am having the same problem in Windows XP Media Center, SP3. I have updated, repaired, rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalled. Nothing is working.
