Avast Dashboard Opened On It's Own?
« on: February 08, 2016, 09:08:48 PM »
Just a weird thing this morning. Turned on my laptop ( I had it in sleep mode all night ), and discovered my Avast Free dashboard was open. Telling my I am protected, and everything is up to date. This was especially weird to me as I haven't even opened avast in well over a week. I was just wondering if this was something that could just happen, the program being open? Or if it signifies some type of issue?  I mean nothing was changed on it, I checked, and my computer history shows nothing was opened or accessed while I was asleep, as I worried about maybe remote control/hacking.
