Since the last avast 2014 update windows is asking me to get an antivirus. When i click on the message, it says avast is not activated, I click “activate” but it seems to do nothing. Avast says everything is fine. ¿bug?
has the computer been rebooted since avast 9 was installed? if not, try rebooting the computer…
some others have reported having the same issue and said that the problem was resolved after rebooting the computer…
I confirm what redwolfe says. I had rebooted when I saw the message from the security centre. After reboot, it recognizes Avast.
Avast 2014 worked for a day or two but then I notice that it wasn’t active.
I have the same issue even after restarting.
In Status it says "The avast! service is off: START
pressing “Start” or “resolve all” doesn’t seem to do anything.
If I try to sign in to My Devices I get the note… “We could not connect your device to avast! Account. Please try again later. {OK}”
In general settings my account status is “Not connected”
If I press “Connect now” it will take me to my devices and I get the same error.
I guess I should try to reinstall… Edit: and that didn’t work 
I too faced this issue… Then disabled all shields and enabled back. Then this problem disappeared
Today it was able to connect to Avast servers and everything is working fine now shrug
