If Repair doesn't fix the problem, try the following:
If your Avast settings are not the default settings and you want them restored after the Clean Install, follow this before removing Avast.

A screen capture  might help ?

Things that come to mind are Avast OMNI do you have it ?
What avast program/s do you have installed ?
OMNI is currently only available in the USA, if that is the case, this is more likely to be a promo for it.

The Smart Scan frequently reports potential issues, more in the hope that will purchase that paid product.

This is what I see in OMNI after running a quick scan,

I'm running the latest beta version of OMNI.

My reply was directed at the OP.

However, this is why I hoped the OP would post a screenshot of the issue and we would be likely to know what it is/was about.

Having the same issue. Smart scan completes, can view the first 3 reports, but when I hit next to view "Smart Home Risks", nothing happens.

I have the newest version of free avast and I’m having problems running a scan and so is my friend.When I run the smart scan it’s fine till it gets to smart home risks. When it’s finished I click next and the next arrow disappears and I don’t get the results of smart home risks. I can now not scan again since there is no arrow and scan has not finished. I have repaired modified uninstalled avast reinstalled several times. The new install will have advanced issues instead of smart home risks. Scan finishes. I close avast. Open it again and there is smart home risks again and back to same problem.

Sorry but it is not resolved in the upgrade.  I have the newest upgrade 20.9.2437.  It will not finish the scan at smart home risks.  When I click to end it, the next button disappears.  This is the Free Avast.  I have done everything.  Repaired, modified, rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalled.  Still the same problem

I've reported this to Avast. Let's see if that helps.

I cannot submit screenshots since this is for free avast and it's only allowing email to paid avast.  Is there a way to contact support through regular email?  Otherwise, this is not getting solved.
