Authorization password

I jus got a message from my Avast Pro Antivirus: “An attempt to use the protected zone of this software has been noticed…” And a general password is required. What is this password an how to get it? My Avast account password doesn’t fit!!!

It sounds like the password set on avast and that has nothing to do with your account.
A screenshot of the message might help to see about what is going on.

The message I got is in Finnish - and I can’t get an print screen image.

Well, use a online translator and post the English translation.
That would already be something.

Thank you for your comments - I’ll be back in few days: not it is quarter past midnight here in Finland, and I’ll on the road for the weekend… I’ll make the translation and will copy past it to you, regards,

I am having this same issue. My online account works fine and I can even log in to the local Avast utility but if I try to manually run a scan I get the attached and my account password doesn’t work for it. Help!

You need to use the password set in avast, not the one for your account as they can (and should) be different.

If that isn’t working see > https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB217
