Hello,
today (April 8 2020) Avast requested I restart my computer. So I did and Avast has been acting strangely since. When I open it, a message pops up, saying: "UI failed to load. This is really embarrassing. Your protection is running, but the UI is having a really bad day." with only the "Exit" option under it. But when I look on the tray icon, there is a red cross And when I hover my mouse over it, it says that I am unprotected. I tried rebooting the computer a few times with no success (when rebooting before, an unnamed application was preventing shutdown, when Avast wanted the shutdown, there was another "G" application and when rebooting now, something just flashes). I am using Avast free od Windows 10. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
