I suggest you download the Internet Security Installer rather than upgrading a free version. Download it here
Windows 7 (64-bit) Home Premium SP1
avast! 9 RC1

So you mean you inserted your license key on a Free version of avast? I'm having the same problems when upgrading a Free edition to an Internet Security.

It would be better if you install Internet Security directly. Link to avast! IS here

double function-creating another folder with the same function make your system confused

did you try disable anything including defense module and disconnect to internet before upgrading to IAS?

if you did not disable anything before upgrading, all avast function will be doubled and creating overdamping

Try fist cold boot for 3min

if not effected then uninstalled and install fresh IAS

Huh? Why Adobe?

Add: Are you getting a new license key? You don't have to, just use the .avastlic file given to you yesterday when you bought Internet Security.

I need adobe to open it.  And the avast icon was there. Then i uninstall everthing. Installed avast again. Looked for the key and the icon changed to a adobe icon on the file. Put that in  restart my pc logged back in and it said welcome to Avast  and is asking me to select the appropirate firewall mode for the new network.  There is home, work, public which 1 ? Also my action center is saying my avast is out of date its 5.0.462

Seems like its working better now. :)

Select Home. Now, for the license, double click the orange ball. Then click Maintenance > Registration. From the right side, click Insert avast! PRO antivirus / Internet Security License File. Locate and select the license file then click Open. You'll receive a confirmation message if it works.

Don't worry avast will update itself.
