Something is preventing my avast from starting up.

Anyone have any ideas?

You might want to take a look at this: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=133261.0
The suggestion is to go to Control Panel, Programs and Features (Add/Remove Programs if XP), and try uninstalling AVAST using the repair option. Make sure to use the Repair option and reboot the computer after the repair process is completed.
