Popup "You are not protected" blah blah blah

[Neal21]

What's with the popup from Avast telling me I am not protected and to subscribe when I am already a subscriber?

What gives???

If you Right Click the Avast Tray icon > Registration information  - What does it say for My Subscriptions ?
You need to be signed into your Avast Account for this installation to be linked to your subscription/s.

In the notification settings you can set the "limited" notification which allows you not to display notifications of commercial offers but only those useful for security.

What would have been really helpful would have been a screenshot of the notification being given as it isn't clear what that is.

Hence my thinking it is about your existing subscription.

It says I am a subscriber, dunno what this popup was about, says I'm not subscribed. If I see it again, I'll take a screenie.

It is sounding more like promoting another Avast paid product.

I get them occasionally on the Avast Free antivirus, whilst it might/could be a weakness that isn't covered by what you have.  You have a headache, I have an aspirin, that will be xx$  For me they are either covered by another tool I have or I'm not particularly concerned about the issue.

The one thing I would recommend is making regular backups of your system to an off-line SSD/HDD device.  I do a full system backup monthly and a data backup fortnightly.  Should the worst ever happen I'm pretty much covered.
