What is the full text of the error ?

What is your firewall ?
Does it allow avast.setup internet access ?
- If it does delete the entry for it and do a manual update, this should force the firewall to ask permission again.

This issue sounds almost similar to mine.  I purchased Avast (3 user)
5.0.545 a few weeks ago.  I use MagicJack as my home telephone.
Since installing Avast, my phone calls continue to be dropped, without
warning.  MagicJack has tried helping, I'm thinking this  is an avast
issue.  Can anyone, Please, offer help on settings...or has anyone had
this problem...that Avast & MagicJack conflict?
Thank You.

I use MagicJack and have avast!5. I don't have any conflicts.

BOB,

Ever since I purchased Avast 5 (3 years, approx $100.00), my MagicJack telephone calls are
dropped, without warning.  The firewall goes crazy, all over the board, and the call goes dead.
This is NOT my imagination, I realize You're not having the same problem, but I need someone with
technical skills to help me...OR I want my money refunded.  I'm sure this is a great antivirus,
BUT it doesn't do me any good if I'm unable to use my telephone.  I've sent a request for help
to Avast, so far no response....should I contact CNET?

redc0ugar,
I don't know if contacting CNET  will solve your problem.
You asked if any one else used MagicJack and I replied.
The fact that I don't have any problems also isn't my imagination.
Bragging about my technical skills wouln't solve your problem either.
What operating system are you using? What version of avast!5 are you running ? (Pro or IS)
If it's the Pro version, which firewall are you using?  Are you using a router and which one ???
The more information you provide, the greater the chances are that you'll receive an answer to your problem.

Bob,
I'm so sorry that I was rude. Besides working full time, I'm a caregiver to my Mother (alzheimers), Husband (diabetes), and Daughter (autism).  It's so embarrassing, when I'm on the phone with
Dr's & the phone calls are dropped.

My OS is Vista 64 bit. Avast 5 IS.  I use a linksys wireless router to get computer service on our
second floor.
Being I'm having such a difficult time & my computer skills are minimal, do You believe I might have
a chance at getting a prorated refund?  I purchased this program 4/24/2010 for $100.00.
Thank You.

redc0ugar, we can guide you and help to troubleshoot. Anyway, you can always ask for a refund.
Which was your old antivirus and firewall before AIS?

Thank You so much for responding.
I had the paid version of Windows One Care (antivirus & firewall).
Please, if the fix is too technical, for MagicJack, how can I request
a refund?

Respectfully....
Patricia

Was it fully uninstalled?

Probably the site you've bought it (the reseller) or an email to sales (at) avast (dot) com.

Yes.  I uninstalled Windows One Care.  Just now I did a "search" and did not find
anything with the program's name.  Would it be really difficult to fix, so Avast's Firewall
quits interfering with my MagicJack telephone calls?
