Given that the probelm happened when you installed Avast, the first thing to try, and the simplest, is to do a system restore back to the point before you installed the software. In most cases where a software installation has changed something that created a problem, system restore will put your computer back the way is was before the change was made and save you a lot of headaches in attempting to figure out what was changed.
