I looked at my antivirus today and saw that the Web Shield is not running. I try to click “Fix Now”, but nothing happens. Diving a little deeper, avast says the “service stopped” and “Please run avast! service first to activate this shield.” What is this referring to? Thanks.
I had the same problem,fixed it by useing the uninstall utility from Avast in safemode and then installing a new setup file.
what is your avast version at Maintenance tab?

here is the info.
My version number is 7.0.1407
Thanks.
Uninstalled, ran the removal utility, reinstalled, and still the web shield is disabled. Thoughts?
