Maybe I just needed to reboot after installing?
Yes, you do need to reboot after installing.
In the future if you have a problem with Avast, instead of jumping the gun and uninstalling Avast, try the Avast Repair option first:
- Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > Avast Antivirus.
- Scroll down and choose Repair function in the pop-up window.
-
Reboot.
This usually does the trick.
