Avast Service running

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Has anyone else had issues lately with the Avast Service stopping every few minutes? I constantly have to keep restarting the service just so I can access my passwords and if I try and access the UI I just get a message saying Avast is down. I thought about removing and reinstalling but I’m afraid I’ll lose all my stored passwords. This is getting to be a big issue so I may look other places for antivirus protection and maybe a 3rd party password option.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I just tried the repair option you outlined and it seems to have worked, at least to this point
