No new sofware just updated as usual. Windows updates perhaps nothing else.

Hi,

To clarify, do you only receive this when you click on update Avast or something else? Does it happen every time you open Avast free? Would you mind including a support file, please? https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/Submit-support-file

I installed Avast Free a few days ago on a PC and I also had the firewall active.
I had to uninstall it and have it reinstalled today always on the same PC and now I don't see the active firewall anymore, but it is with the padlock for the premium version.
So the firewall in the free version is it in a lucky and random way?

Can you not pick and choose what you want to install anymore?

You can still do a custom install, that would require you to download the full off-line installation file.

That said, an update from program update (Manual or Auto) should still retain what components that you have and not install others you haven't already installed.  Which is what I normally do and no unwanted/requested components.

If you are basing your comment on the post above yours by 'Nunzio77' who is talking about the new firewall (for avast free), that is still a very limited release.  Most want it (personally I'm in two minds to have it or not) and can't get it as it isn't widely available.

Let me explain better, if I have not been clear.
I had to uninstall Avast Free on my PC for another reason.
When I reinstalled it (the firewall is not among the components to choose) I no longer have the firewall available (it is only available for the premium version).
So I wonder if when you install Avast Free the firewall installation happens randomly?

Currently, the free version doesn't have a firewall unless you
install Avast One Essential. It comes with a basic firewall.
