Shutdown Blocker
« on: March 22, 2018, 12:06:58 AM »
Good day

Well, i'm pretty new in all of this, and today i noticed a "Shutdown Blocker" related with Avast Antivirus during an update. That thing block the normal shutdown of the computer, or, at least, warns you about the update.

Is that normal? It had not happened to me until today.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks in advance.

Of course.

Here screenshots of the process:







And the .exe in the Avast Setup folder.



I think it's something related to automatic updates, but it was not there until today in the afternoon and I want to be sure.

My internet during the day is bad, like, unable to download almost anything. If the program tries to update at these times it probably takes a long time, or fails.
