At boot up Avast Gadget shows I am unsecured, this last about 3 seconds and then it shows me a secured. If I am fast enough to click on the “fix” I get a message from Avast or Windows 7 indicating someone or something is trying to stop “Real-time Protection”. Any help for a newbie???
It just takes a little time before everything is up and running.
The avast tray icon would have a Red circle with white cross over it (unsecured), followed by a Yellow triangle with * asterisk (one or more shields not running or virus database out of date, etc. less critical).
Provided it is fine after a few seconds no real problem, this also happens on my system at times.
