No Email Scanner Can I Find On Avast 4.8

Well the usual culprit in this case is your system date being incorrect - double click on the clock, ensure it is displaying the correct Day Month Year and correct as required.

Yes the date , clock , and time are displaying correctly.  Still a red X in Microsoft Security.

Well I'm somewhat surprised at that as the Security Center is usually correct when reporting out of date (VPS 7 days or more old) and on occasion it even reports the AV not running when it is.

Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow. This may rectify any inconsistency within avast on the VPS version dates, etc.

If not you are going to have to try and update/repair the Vista Security Centre as it isn't working correctly. Now I have no Idea if some of these work with Vista or more so with the 64bit version of it.
