Getting pop-ups from Avast! Free -
“The online content is unavailable
Please, check your internet connection and try again.”
Just started happening today. The rest of the internet appears to be working OK, so it appears to be specific to your site.
Same here. Brings up the Account Tab. I’m pretty clearly online since I’m posting this. :V
Since today, 13h approx (Western Europe) I get Avast (free) poppin up on my Windows PC (didn’t check Android devices yet) with “The online content is unavailable”. Also loging in with my account-credentials doesn’t work. What’s going on?
Relax the Avast Account website is down is related to my.avast.com
Same here
Same here and this is a serious issue: Avast drops me down to desktop constantly from Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain. It was so frustrating so I uninstalled whole program.
Edit: If it cant connect to servers it shouldn’t interrupt my gaming.
ye same here it keeps popping and interrupts me gaming or whatever im doing. gonna uninstall this shit soon
Same here, both on home users (free accounts) and paid users (business accounts). I have a ton of people contacting me about it. What the heck.
same, very annoying, hope they fix this asap

Same here. Avast free. My internet connection is just fine.
That’s pretty dumb, if that’s the case. So far I’m spending my morning telling people to ignore it. All this less than a day after a zero-day bug was announced (and supposedly patched):

Not to mention the spying allegations:

Between this & that issue of Avast eating hard drives earlier this year, I’m getting pretty annoyed with the software. The forum is also horribly slow right now, this is my third time trying to post this message 
Same problem. I actually came onto the forum to start a thread about it myself, glad it’s not just me it’s happening to. Really annoying, I was playing Warframe and it kept popping up constantly, got me killed twice…
I’ll give it a few hours before uninstalling, there are other free antivirus that work just as well
This is happening to me as well…glad to see I’m not the only one! My internet seems to be fine. I’m on Avast Premier, also.
Edit:
Whatever was going on seems to have fixed itself…I think? I’ll keep an eye out. Additionally the forums are running rather slowly…guess more people are having the issue than I thought.
I don’t really get the problem, it happened here aswell.
first, I’m using the german version of avast, it says “Lädt”, then it gives the error message - in english (why in english, i’ve set it to german, and if I want to run it in english, I would set it to english).
then, if it wants to download something, it should at least tell what it wants to download and give the opportunity to delay it. I’m sometimes on my mobile connection, and they charge per megabyte.
and finally, it should be trivial to detect the online-status. is the connection down or is the server down.
so please tell me, how those problems can be fixed, especially the weird switches between languages is annoying, aswell as that pop up, informing about a non-existing problem, and even showing a wrong picture (how do I plug in a wireless lan cable?).
Hey, is there any way how to disable avast from popping up like this without unistalling it whole?
Im having the same issue. I already tried to reinstall avast if its not something with my internet so it kept popping up. Its realy annoying while im working I realy look forward to the fix hopefully today.
Same here. Avast free
