Disable Windows Defender. You can't have both active.

That is wrong-you most certainly can use both at the same time. Windows 8 and above windows defender is an antivirus, so then you would not want to use both. But in windows 7 and below it is just antispyware. You can certainly use both at the same time with no problems.

I am concerned at the messages you are receiving, it is especially odd that avast says everything is fine.

First,

I would uninstall avast as normal trough control panel uninstall a program; and then use the removal utility outlined here:

Avast - Uninstall Completely

Once this is done, reinstall avast antivirus.

Then restart and check windows security center.

If you are still having problems after doing the above, please post these logs:

since they did not post the logs, I believed the above fixed it.

Thanks for updating!

As an added precaution, you might want to consider running a boot scan with avast to make sure your system is clean as well.

No problem, its what we do here. Work together help others. And hopefully people learn some things in the process.
