Title: Two shields turning themselves off
Post by: fishswimthesea on March 12, 2021, 03:00:11 AM

I was surprised to discover the behavior shield and ransomware shield were turned off.
How could that happen? Screenshots attached.

Computer hiccup possibly.

Have you restarted your system ?
If so is the condition still there ?

If so try an Avast Repair - AvastUI > Menu > Settings > General > Troubleshooting > Repair APP.

Turned the shields back on that same day. All was well until today when the same thing happened with the same two shields. I noticed a couple of posts on page one with a similar problem. Will try the repair function.
