What I don't understand is why, after my auto-renewal went through and was paid out, like it does every year, my system experienced this problem ?
I have been using Avast on my XP computer, from 2014 up until now. Yes, I know the support had stopped, but it still worked, and protected, and updated, and ran with no issues, keeping my system safe, even though it was not updated with the latest features, etc.
It still worked flawlessly until April 14th, and after the renewal, on the 15th, it became 'unsecure'.
Even now, it is still updating the virus definitions, and popping up if I come across any questionable or possible malware sites (I know a few sites where that always happened, so I checked to see if Avast would still notify me if I went to them, and it did). So, it seems to be still working, other than having that big red X on my taskbar, saying my system is unsecured, and not letting me input my activation ID.
When I check my Windows security, it tells me my firewall is on, and my virus protection is also on.
So I'm kinda confused at all this.
Not really sure which way to go.
