Avast Premier Security: Unable to "Turn On" the Anti-Rootkit Anti-Exploit Shield

Hello,
Last Wednesday, I installed the Avast Premier Security antivirus. In the application's user graphic interface I saw I had 3 notifications. When I clicked it, two of the notifications showed the recommendation to turn on the Anti-Rootkit and Anti-Exploit Shields, but when I clicked the "Turn On" green button, nothing happened. I tried several times, but I got the same outcome.
This screencast show what I was experiencing:

What could be the problem?
Thanks

In this case a repair would be also my first advice.
But you can turn on/off Rootkit - and Exploit detection in the settings as well :
Avast > Menu > Settings > Protection > Core Shieds
