Avast Program 18.3.23339 (build 18.3.3860.316)
I keep getting a pop-up box on the desktop to indicate Avast is disabled
Going to Control Panel/ Security and Maintenance I can see its OFF
Click "Turn on" for Avast - nothing response
On windows bottom tool bar, Avast displays all 5 shields Disabled - cannot enable
In Control Panel/ Uninstall Programs, I have repaired Avast - no good
In Control Panel/Admin Tools/Component Services, all entries concerning Avast are running
if I go to Avast Main Interface it displays "You are Protected
I can even run a Smart Scan
So, am I protected or not ?
