When I quit Avast it spontaneously relaunches immediately again on its own. When I force quit Avast, it also relaunches within seconds. When I restart my Mac, it launches on it’s own. I don’t have Avast configured to open automatically upon login or startup.
This glitch started occurring only a few hours ago. I’ve never had this problem before.
open the preferences and make sure “Launch at startup as a persistent application” is not checked. then try to close.
Yeah, that was it. Funny thing is I wasn’t in Avast preferences for quite some time and have no idea how it could have been enabled. ???
Now, the problem is this: I’ve got “mail support” unchecked but Mail app. is launched along with Avast when I login or restart . When I check Avast’s preferences “mail support” is checked, even though I haven’t touched it. I understand that this is a known issue and will be corrected in the next Avast for Mac release.
I have already removed the GetRuleScript.txt" file but it still reappears in Avast’s contents/resources folder. ???
OK, the file reappeared once after deleting it, so far, but not a second time, yet.
hallo,
it’s possible that some nasty backup-engine (T…e M…e? 
reverted your configuration/installation back to the previous state. in general all those “user-friendly” backup mechanism could create some confusion, when putting config files/app resources back.
