Just checked the Avast! app again, and now it’s showing that I am secured with definition version 131215-00. Guess I’ll just chalk it up to the gremlins temporarily rearing their ugly heads. 
My Android version is 4.0.4, and to the best of my knowledge my phone is not rooted. Are there advantages to running it rooted? I’m not certain whether or not Avast! is installed rooted on my phone. How do I determine this?
