Is there a fix for this?

You should be able to temporarily disabled Avast and then download. But I recommend getting rid of Avast and use Windows native anti malware.

Garry:
Thanks for getting back to me.  That worked.

As for using the Windows native antivirus software(Windows Defender) I will continue to use Avast.  The main reason is that I was using Windows Defender after I upgraded to Windows 10 and got a Ransomware virus.  I lost everything on the computer.  I think the virus disabled the Windows Defender program and then encrypted all my files.  I have used Avast on all my Windows 7 machines and never had a problem.  I think that Windows Defender is more susceptible to hackers than Avast since it part of Windows 10.  

Thanks again,
Ted
