Space bar prompts Avast Antivirus

When I switched on my PC this morning, Avast popped up and said there was an update. I updated and now every time I try to write something, when I hit the space bar it prompts the Avast Antivirus main window.

I re-started my PC after update and then again thinking it might get rid of the problem, but no.

How do can I fix it so I can work on my PC again?

Thank you!

Repair Avast:

  1. Avast GUI → Settings → Troubleshooting
  2. Click on ‘REPAIR APP’.
  3. Follow instructions.
  4. Reboot.

Thank you.

What is Avast GUI and where can I find it? I can’t write anything on my PC because I can’t write separate words, I’m writing this on my iPad that doesn’t have Avast installed… Also, I just noticed that the Windows key on my keyboard does the same, it prompts the Avast main window. It’s like the antivirus program is the virus and has installed these keyboard shortcuts that I can’t get rid of :woman_facepalming:t3:

Thank you again.

You’re welcome.
