Hi Guys Just updated Avast to new version, BUT, for some reason, Security centre says it,s switched off, yet It,s scanned and no threat found?
Red shield still up, even though I,ve said Turn on, and Allow.
Any advice.

    Still the same after a reboot?

    Does Avast itself show it is running OK?

    Still thesame after reboot BUT scanned ok, no threats.
    Just centre says it,s turned off, and won,t turn it on when asked?
    New one turning Blue/orange repeatedly,seems ok?
    I will try another reboot.

    Hi bod ok now after second reboot.
    However, just ran Mbam, and it,s detected 6 pup options O files listed as Malware,temp files, BUT not sure it is as I,m in the middle of working with Nifty on blackscreen thread and don,t know if they are false positives that we may require, as I,ve downloaded some files.Don,,t know whether to remove or not?
