recently, Avast gets disabled automatically after about 15 mins of running. I can “Resolve All” and 15 mins later it is disabled. I’ve done a full scan and a browser plugin scan and found nothing. Any ideas? Running on WinXP
What avast version free/pro/AIS/Premier and build number (latest is 2016 11.1.2241) ?
Try an avast Repair:
Control Panel - Add Remove Programs - Avast antivirus - Change - from the next window select Repair.
OK your way out, Reboot.
Have (or did) you another Anti-Virus installed in this system, if so what was it and how did you get rid of it ?
Seems to work after updating, wonder why it didn’t update automatically.
Thanks
I was having the same problem so I did the repair suggested above and decided to run a full scan
This is now stuck on 0% on something called frxmain.sdb which I understand is something to do with Windows10.
Using Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit service pack 1
and Avast has just switched itself off again
Help!

If by updating you mean the Program Update ?
The Program Update isn’t set to Auto Update (as you wouldn’t want it updating at an inconvenient time), only the virus definitions are set to auto update.
