Yes, bob3160, thank you, I'm one who did that...disabling HTTPS as you showed...but the idea is that one shouldn't HAVE TO do that in order to have Avast run as intended.
This is a bug in the update that Avast will hopefully be fixing soon. I surely hope so anyway...
Also, given that I and someone else have indeed found that the nekvapil@... address isn't working, do you (or does anyone) have an alternative?
Thanks again,
