False warning from Windows
« on: August 20, 2013, 01:39:54 PM »
I just dismissed an Avast sales pop-up and immediately got a warning from Windows Action Centre that Avast is turned off.  Avast says it isn't turned off.  Who do I believe?

I rebooted and the warning didn't reappear.  This happened a few months ago - it's just annoying, that's all.

I turned off the action center in Win 7. It is a useless POS. I would believe Avast.
