Microsoft Surface 3 - Avast background service is not running

system · 2015-11-21T19:08:03.000Z

Have just got a brand new Surface 3 (running windows 10) and have installed avast. However, when I open the program it says I am unprotected as the background servicies are not running. Neither clicking ‘start now’ or ‘resolve all’ produces any results. Any advice would be appreciated.
