W8 Pro Action Center is indicating that I have no virus protection or spyware protection. I turned off Windows Defender earlier and have a fully updated Avast Free Antivirus 7.0.1474 installed. I tried http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=23457.msg193534#msg193534 which instructed to delete the repository which I did to no avail.
Thanks for your help.
When I click on the White Surrender Flag with the Red X for “Spyware and unwanted software protection (Important)” or “Turn on virus protection (Important)” an explorer window pops open at C:\WINDOWS\system32. If I open Action Center, and click on either Turn On Virus Protection or Turn On Spyware Protection buttons, I get the same window popping open.
1). Is there a specific file I need to each aim protection at?
2). Where is it located?
I have the same problem as RonKern.
Does anyone has a solution for the same.
Have you tried a reboot ?
