Title: How can I change the password located at "Protect Avast with password"
Post by: REDACTED on July 28, 2014, 03:29:22 AM

I have AVAST PREMIUM ... My Avast account is CONNECTED ... my PROTECTED AREAS include General Program Access and all other checkboxes.  I cannot figure out how to change the password for this area ... have searched all over.  Can anyone advise?  Thank you for your time.
