[ikedervaals]

Hi Avast Forum Team, i just wanna ask about my avast free lately on the new program update i notice every 2 - 3 days my avast free always ask that you need to restart your avast in order to fully protect ill attach the screenshot, it is somehow annoying avast free always ask about restart but there is no update on the program itself. Is this a bug or something? Thanks In Advance

Not seeing that on my win10 system with the latest avast! free 19.7.2388 (build: 19.7.4674.494) version. 

Your reported version has a different build number build: 19.7.4674.524), I don't know if this is because you have different components to me, mine is very much a minimal installation and I don't use the Avast Secure Browser (ASB).  There is a possibility that you have a component or the ASB that has been updated and requires a restart to be completed.

Another possibility could be the emergency update check, but if this is the case then I would have expected to see this to.

If I recall, there are a couple of other topics in the main Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security (legacy Pro Antivirus, Internet Security, Premier) forum relating to a restart required that you might want to browse for.

Try here (as DavidR suggests):  https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=228911.msg1517277#msg1517277

It is possible what you are seeing is related to the general Avast Premium Security update.
