Barry,
If you open Avast, there should be an option to turn it off,
particularly there may be an option to turn off 'real-time protection'.
Otherwise, make sure you have the Avast installer on hand first, (for
later) and uninstall it completely.
Then try downloading GnuCash again. (you may need to re-start your
system after removing Avast) Then re-install Avast after installing GnuCash.
Also, read through the documentation for Avast (or contact them) about
how to 'Whitelist' a website or particular download. That would save you
the trouble of uninstalling it as a workaround.
Finally, several people have recommended going back to a version of
GnuCash what worked fine for you. Do you no longer have that older
installer? If not, and you can't seem to download it either, try doing
so on a different computer, some one mentioned using a local library if
possible.
We've also recommended you try downloading with a different web browser.
Those are free also. Give one or more a try and let us know if any of
the above worked.
Regards,
Adrien

OK, once again thanks for all the comments and advice.
Afaics I don't get at any point, an option to "get out" such as has been
suggested, I haven't found in avast, for example, how to suspend it, I
get no 'properties' prompt.
