Uninstall and reinstall the OS.
Are you still using an operating system that is MORE THAN 6 MONTHS old??
Upgrade your hardware to current.
and go into settings to stop avast from hijacking your signature.

Sorry.
I didn't mean to offend or annoy. Just joining in on ridicule of "modern
tech support".
There are serious fundamental flaws in the design of an OS that is large
enough to be able to have self-check code, but still needs to be
re-installed periodically.
I particularly didn't want to annoy YOU. I am impressed with your
projects.
