Just got .1497 free and it shut down according to action center on windows 8, unistalled .1489 and downloaded 1497 and installed it and re registered. This problem is getting ridiculous.
I had an issue with the Windows Security Centre too. I had updated the program from within the program itself, rebooted but still had the Windows action centre pop up saying "start Avast anti virus". Even clicking that didn't resolve it.Downloading the uninstaller then doing a clean reinstall has sorted the security centre not seeing Avast as having started but there is clearly an issue for some who just update through the program itself.Windows 7 64bit.
I had an issue with the Windows Security Centre too.I did follow some of the solutions provided namely resetting the winmgmt service in the command prompt. I rebooted and nothing had changed. The security centre still wasn't detecting that Avast! was up and running. I then tried disabling shields for ten minutes and security center detected that. It decided that Avast! was "snoozing" and asked me if I wanted it turned on which I did of course and problem solved. Unfortunately I have only just done this so I don't know if it's a long term solution.I'm on vista ultimate on a lenovo T61p. avast version 2014.9.0.2006
I admit I don't know much about W8. I will suggest a clean install though.1) download and save http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility2) download and save http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe3) run uninstaller from step #1 (you will be prompted to reboot into safe mode, do so).4) reboot into normal mode5) install set-up from step #26) reboot and register
