I have the free version of Avast anti virus, very very occasionally it would request me to restart my computer, and giving me a choice of delaying it, for certain periods of time.

The problem I am now experiencing, it has now started to flag this up every time I go on my computer.

Anyone else experiencing this same problem, and how can I fix it?

Have you shut it down and restarted it?
I've never had that at all, so I'd say that sounds odd. You could perhaps uninstall Avast and install it again, though that's rather a faff.

I started using Avast a few weeks ago and have not experienced this problem.

The only minor niggle at the moment is daily offers of discounts on other Avast products that I am not interested in.

Yes but it appeared again the next day I switched my computer on.
I've had avast running for years and never encountered that problem, I think best suggestion is to re-install it.

^ but that is not an Avast number- will probably try to charge so I wouldn't ring
That is a free phone number if you are in the USA. You will be charged from UK
