Strange Avast behaviour today

Is anyone else seeing some odd behaviour from Avast today? It seems to start a pop-up window, then after 30 seconds or so come up with a message saying "The online content is unavailable. Please, check your internet connection and try again", even though my internet connection is fine. It's happened on both my computers, one Win7 and one Win8.1. Version is 10.4.2233, updated yesterday.

It's not me then, same effect on my PC, running XP. Seems there must be a glitch in the latest update.0

Yep, I have Avast Premier and it has been doing it for me too.
There's a thread about it on the Avast Forums - https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=177373.0
EDIT: It should be fixed now. It was an issue caused by the my.avast.com update server being down. The server is back-up now.0 -
Happened to me too. Free version.0
