Try a repair.  Do this by starting to uninstall Avast! via Windows, but choose the Repair option.

Ok so this seems to be a bug that few people already facing including myself ( Web Shield, Mail Shield ) been turned off after reboot, some people have different modules turned off.
Bottom line is that there is a issue in this latest version.
My OS is Win 7 x64

Code: [Select]
a repair.  Do this by starting to uninstall Avast! via Windows, but choose the Repair option
It  works for the first 2-4 reboots and goes back to the same thing, for me the next morning came back with thous 2 modules off.

God?, hardly  ;D  Glad to help, though.   If you would like, edit the subject of your original post with a (RESOLVLED) tag at the end.

Yeah, your email is showing public also, you  might want to hide that.  ;)

Unfortunately, my Avast Pro version (whichever it is?) doesn't have the option to "Change" from the program uninstall feature.  So here I sit, none the wiser.

If your using the 6 version then just click avast then the uninstall and you will get the popup where you scroll down to repair.
