Ofcourse it didn't. see reply #29
However, this afternoon after leaving this laptop on standby for an hour and then activating it, I also got the AvastBackground Service is not running and Firewall off. They would not restart nor would a Windows restart clear the issue. I wound up uninstalling 12.2.2276 and reverting back to AIS 12.1.2272 for now.
I have confirmed that the latest version was causing the issue for me. Here's what I did to downgrade and prevent it from automatically upgrading to the latest version again:I logged into My Avast to download my License (file: "license.avastlic").I downloaded the offline installer for the previous version of Avast Internet Security from FileHippo (in my case 12.1.2272).I downloaded and ran the Avast Uninstall Utility (file: "avastclear.exe"); this will reboot you into Safe Mode.After the uninstall and rebooting normally, I ran the offline installer and disconnected from the Internet immediately after the initial trial license activation before it had a chance to download the latest version (because Auto-update is enabled by default on a clean install). To do this, I simply disabled my LAN adapter, but you may choose whatever method works for you.After the install and initial activation completed and while my Internet was still disconnected, I went into the Update settings for the "Program" section and changed it from "Automatic Update" to "Ask when update is downloaded," but any of the other options will work.Now in the Subscription settings I loaded my license that I downloaded earlier.I restarted once again in order to be absolute sure that the setting had taken effect before reconnecting to the Internet.Finally, I reconnected to the Internet.Note: I also chose not to log into my account on the client for now as I was concerned that it might sync some old settings and re-enable Auto-update. I will probably leave it like that until this bug is fixed, hopefully in the next version.Cheers! Matthew
