After receiving what seemed to be a false positive from Avast free Home

Reinstalling the application may fix the problem".
Appreciate any advice on how to reinstall same. Have Googled for help but
have not found the correct site.
TIA.

This is common after malicious software removal.

Perform some scans for malicious software first, then fix any
remaining issues:

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware
detection programs:

Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

They can be uninstalled later if desired.

A "Cannot find...", "Could not run...", "Error loading... or "specific
module could not be found"
message is usually related to malware that was set to run at startup
but has been deleted.

Windows is trying to load this file but cannot locate it since the
file was mostly likely removed
during an scan for malicious software. However, an associated orphaned
registry entry remains and is
telling Windows to load the file when you boot up.

Since the file no longer exists, Windows will display an error
message. You need to remove this
registry entry so Windows stops searching for the file when it loads.

To resolve this, download and install Autoruns, search for the related
entry and then delete it.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

Launch Autoruns.exe and wait for it to finish populating the list of
entries.

When it is done scanning, it will say Ready at the bottom.

Scroll through the list and look for a startup entry related to the
file(s) in the error message.

Right-click on the offending entry and choose delete.

Reboot your computer and troubleshoot remaining issues.
