Avast causing new pop-up "Backup Your File Encryption Key"?
« on: February 08, 2014, 06:32:09 AM »
I did the program update on two different machines and am now getting this new pop-up on both. Clicking on it brings up a choice of backing it up now, later or never. Choosing "Now" starts the Certificate Export Wizard.

Other than the timing the other indication it may be related to Avast is the orange color of the alert, although there's no text or other indication it's being generated by Avast.

1. Is this caused by the new update?

2. I do not use file encryption, Bitlocker or otherwise, so if this is generated by Avast, why?

-Avast Free V 2014.9.0.2013
-Def V 140207-1
-Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with all updates
