resident protection is MIA

I just installed avast home on a computer that is using windows 98 se. the second time i turned the computer on my resident protection went inactive and will not restart. i know nothing about avast (obviously) and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you!

Do you, or did you have another av installed? If you had a previous av, how did you uninstall it?

If you are certain only avast is installed, then try uninstall reboot reinstall.

 In addition to what "Oldman" has shared, should always read a product's FAQs PRIOR to
 installation; ours are at www.avast.com/eng/faq-avast-4-home-professional.html  .
