eastwick66,
Others who are moderators will jump in on this, but in the interest of trying to get you up and running, I'll give a try at helping you through the process of getting rid of Avast 4.8 and moving to Avast 5.1.
Below is the link to the Avast uninstall utility software. It is named awclear5.exe, but it will also uninstall Avast 4.8
http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utilityDownload it to your desktop or anywhere else on your c:\ drive (hard drive or HDD).
Run it to uninstall Avast 4.8. When you are done, TurnOff your computer and reboot.
Go to this link for Avast 5.1, which is a good release of Avast that came out just before Avast 6.0.
http://www.filehippo.com/download_avast_antivirus/9090/As the other poster said, FileHippo provides a safe download site and gives you the choice of which version of any particular piece of software you want to use. The above link is for Avast Free AntiVirus 5.1.889 IS NOT the newer Avast Free 6.0.1000.
Download it to your desktop or to your c:\ drive (hard drive or HDD) and click on it. It will run a setup program for 5.1. TurnOFF your computer, then Reboot your computer and you should be OK. Questions about the install process can be asked here.
