It’s not because of this update. I didn’t have it installed yet andavast started nagging
I’m seeing it on the free, cloud, and server-based versions. It’s getting really annoying because it keeps popping up. I’m going to have to record an IT Crowd-style voicemail on my phone to tell people to ignore it…hopefully Avast’s content servers haven’t been hijacked with the zero-day exploit…
Just to inform: Avasts servers are hopefully really secure. AND the Zero-Day Exploit was already patched recently.
The Avast account website is currently down, which may cause these popups since its trying to connect and update my.avast.com,
which is impossible so it may cause that popup message.
Hello there
Just another “ditto”. As long as im not the only one, im not overly worried.
Pop ups are getting in the way of work (Realtime Visualization) and im on a deadline for 4pm.
Oh, well #firstworldproblems

LoK
Same here!
Is there a way to fix this other than uninstalling and switching to a less retarded anti-virus program and never looking back?
Poor poor design to have it pop up when it can’t reach home. Nevermind about fixing the server, it should just fail gracefully.
Suggestion for people to maybe try: Try turning off streaming updates? Maybe that would stop it? I haven’t tried that and I’m not going to try it, but maybe someone else will and let us know if it did anything…
I’ve got it on our 2 pc’s too. Keeps popping up while my son is gaming as well.
my.avast.com is currently down which may cause these popups since Avast tries to update your Avast account there, if you have one
a similar problem
as far as I could understand, I think the point is that the Awas trying to make some kind of update account, but a site with user accounts unavailable. So far, that I took the advice and turned avast mode without notification / game mode that pops up a Avast-window every time (and it is very annoying). But globally can only wait until the repaired portion of the site.
try to temporarily disable without notice mode / Gaming Mode - In this mode, the notification Avast are not shown. In any case, I have since there seems to be not surfaced after the switched mode without notice
Wauv… just wauv. Shoddy programming Avast.
Getting spammed by these popups because your website is down, it’s one the dumbest things I have ever heard.
Get it under control now and fix your programs now.
Sorry guys,
it’s a bug on our update servers, we are working to fix it asap.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
my.avast.com seems to be back online now
I can confirm that going to settings, general and ticking the silent gaming mode does seem to stop it. I don’t think you would want to keep it in this mode all the time, but until they get it fixed it should alleviate the annoyance factor.
Thanks for the update! Are moderators hiding duplicate posts about this issue? I see my original post is gone, but I am able to view some messages from the post when I view My Posts.
Same problem. It looks at the problem with the server
Yep we’re back online finally at last thanks Avast
It’s fixed now. let me know if you still get the screen
Same here. My whole organization is being hit by this today with AVAST Pro, fully updated. AVAST needs to get this fixed ASAP/PRONTO/STAT!
Thank you!!! So far so good!!
seems to be working now, was really nervous after that Zero day exploit
