Avast Update

I have just updated my Avast. There is a message that says Avast Account Status: Not connected
This installation is currently not connected with any avast account. You can connect to an Avast account by clicking My Devices in the main program menu. Is this step essential to complete the update? Also, is there a registration for the free version?
Thank you for any help

avast 9.x ?
yes there is a registration for free edition too. But it is free pf cost process.

No

Yes it is the new version 9. It seems like everything is ok. What is Cloudreading? Do I really need this or can I remove it. Looks like it came with the 2014 version of avast free

Thank you seeker!

Cloudreading? If memory serves me well, I haven’t seen or heard about this in Avast 2014. ???

Could you post a screenshot of the same?

I found it in my add/remove programs. It wasn’t there before and now it is after updating avast!

CloudReading is a Foxit Corporation program. Do you have any type of Foxit PDF Reader installed ??

No! You do not need a "my(dot)avast(dot)com account to use avast.

Yes Gandalf, I do have foxit reader. Just did a search and saw cloudreading was part of it. I have since removed it. Thank you for your input!
