Avast is crashing...but says it's okay

For the past 2-3 days, I’ve gotten a small bubble that tells me that Avast has crashed and I need to click the bubble to restart it. Just now, instead of clicking the bubble (it faded away), I clicked on the Avast icon in the taskbar. It said “You are protected” in the green box with a check mark.

Each time it seems that IF Avast is crashing, it’s rebooting itself instantly. But I’m not really sure about either end of what’s happening - only that I keep seeing the balloon telling me that it has crashed. Suggestions?

Update to the latest version (2015.10.0.2028) and see if the problem is solved.
