I can avoid living somewhere that has earthquakes. But I cannot prevent earthquakes from occurring.
I'm avoiding you.  I'm preventing you.  I'm preventing you from working. I'm avoiding you from working. Do x to prevent colds and flu. Do y to avoid colds and flu. Don't avoid doing the dishes. Don't prevent doing the dishes. Don't prevent your brother from doing the dishes. Don't avoid your brother from doing the dishes. I hope that helps.
