I'm running MacOS Catalina, 10.15.5 and Avast Security 14.5. I have uninstalled and reinstalled.
When I try to switch on Core Shields, Avast asks mw to open "System Preferences" but when. I do, there 's no "Allow" button displayed. I have tried running:
sudo /Applications/Avast.app/Contents/Backend/hub/modules/014_fileshield.sh fix; echo $? which results in:
+ BASE_DIR=/Applications/Avast.app/Contents/Backend
+ PLIST=/Applications/Avast.app/Contents/Backend/launch/com.avast.fileshield.plist

+ /sbin/kextload /Applications/Avast.app/Contents/Backend/drivers/AvastFileShield.kext
/Applications/Avast.app/Contents/Backend/drivers/AvastFileShield.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) system policy prevents loading; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(
.
but the 'Allow' button still does not display
