Well my settings haven't changed and nobody else has reported this so it must be the same bug that made avast or comodo change your settings in your last recent complaint ( ask your sister )

I can only suggest:

A_ Reset your settings using avast GUI; OR
B_ Romoval utility, manual cleanup of "avast*" and "alwil*" folders, clean re-installation; OR
C_ Add a (good) password to Avast settings (from avast GUI).

Any and all of the above possibilities should be performed with "run as administrator" when possible/appropriate.

As mentioned, put a password in Avast and don't share it with others.
