Thanks for responding to my inquiry. Sorry for the delay in responding to you. My laptop system was frozen until late afternoon yesterday, and the Avast forum login site has not been accessible for me until now.
The Control Panel Repair method you suggested was never really successful for me in the past. However, just to be sure, I tried it again yesterday. It not only failed to fix the message box problem, but it also froze during its run, and immobilized my entire laptop system along with it. I've since freed my system, and cleanly removed and reinstalled Avast, which is now up and running. phew. Anyway, with the exception of my recent freeze-out experience, all the usual fix-it methods work for one day (Control Panel repair, resetting the scan, changing random interface settings, manually activating the scheduled scan, reinstalling Avast, etc.), but seem to give up by Day Two. Any other ideas? It's not a crucial problem, but the feature, if fully intact, would be helpful to me.
Thanks again very much for your input. I appreciate your work.
