What does the avastUI show when you left click on the avast icon ?
There is a bit of a delay when the avastUI (tray icon) is first displayed on my system where the red X is over the icon, but it quickly goes away.
The Yellow triangle with ! is that one or more avast shields or elements isn’t running or out of date (virus signatures, etc.) or disabled. Again you should open the avastUI and see what Shield or element is flagged.
