Avast antivirus software is blocking AYS software from running.

When you launch AYS, nothing will appear, though the Task Manager may show one or more tasks labeled AYS.exe *32.

During the first week of December 2015, an automatic update released by Avast antivirus began blocking AYS software due to a false positive.

On December 8, 2015, a formal report was filed with Avast Antivirus for them to identify and remove the false positive on AYS software. At the time of preparing this article, no reply has been received by Avast antivirus. Therefore we recommend one of the following options:

Option 1: Configure Avast antivirus to exclude the AYS software installation folder. By default that folder is one of the following:

On 32-bit Windows:   C:\Program Files\At Your Service\
On 64-bit Windows:   C:\Program Files (x86)\At Your Service\

Option 2: Uninstall Avast antivirus and use another antivirus product.
