Hey,
Almost every time i wake my computer from sleep, Avast will pop up, saying a program attempted to access the restricted area of avast (i keep avast locked with a password). Is this a known issue with certain programs or is there malware on the PC? Also is there a log of any sort in avast to see which program is trying to access it?
If you suspect malware, follow the instructions here:

Thanks
Have you heard of a similar case with any software ?
None that I use. Certainly not something that does it at system boot.

I’ve alerted Sass Drake one of the qualified malware removal experts to take a look at your logs.
Please wait for his reply and further instructions.
Thank you!
Logs are clean. Maybe Avast block AnyDesk process after waking from sleep but only way to test it is to close AnyDesk before putting PC to sleep.
