Screenshot.But, one thing annoying me is that the free version of Avast antivirus (v.5.0) displays advertisement (when connecting the system to internet) about their pro version on the main window (see screenshot below shows with ad).
27, 2021: So, does anybody have any insight on this? I installed the Avast update and notice that "new" rules were added back to the "Block" option and I have somewhat duplicate inbound rules on my Windows Firewall. Does that mean I should keep it on Block, change to Allow, or does this not really make a difference in the end?ĮDIT Oct. I also assumed that it should be on "Allow" so that Avast can make inbound/outbound connections so that software and definition updates can take place, but during the two or three days it was set to "Block" in the advanced settings, it appeared to be working properly, and having set to "Allow" hasn't really change much (yet). Since it was set to 'Block' on its own, my question is was this something by design that Windows and/or Avast set upon install by default? Or was this an error somewhere that took place and it should have been set as "Allow" but wasn't? I set both TCP and UDP to Allow so that it could match everything. I also checked the Advanced Security settings to see the Inbound and Outbound rules, what I noticed was that Avast was added to the inbound rules, but it was set to Block.
If this shouldn't be posted here and should be posted in r/Windows10 or r/WindowsHelp, let me know, but I only noticed this happening with Avast so I thought I would post it here.īackground: I re-installed Avast recently, and after doing so I curiously checked to see if it was added to Allowed Apps to communicate through Windows Defender Firewall and it was as you can see (I inadvertently removed it from this list somehow while messing around with Defender settings, which is why I re-installed to put it back in there).
