Dont update your avast-its broken.

As the title says don't update the program version of avast, virus one ok, its broken and will leave your windows unprotected.


Check avast forum if you want more info.
Probably a fix in the offing soon but very slow about it, according to users on forum.

    Hello!

    We are aware of this issue and are currently working on a fix.

    I'll keep this thread updated.

    Our apologies for the inconvenience :(

    You know what uranium is, right? It's this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things.

    Oh. I updated last night and it seems fine today.

    I notice that the update also installed the Avast SafePrice adware, which I had to manually remove via the installer options.
