Hello…
I’ve just purchased AIS… been a paid user of avast for years and been really satisfied.
First i had to remove and reinstall AIS as it totally messed up my computer. 10-13 minutes to login. (?)
anyway finally got it to work…
now setting up the firewall… when creating new rules AIS seems to ignore and do what it wants…
i have done the following :
Firewall setting > WORK/MEDIUM RISK ZONE ( so it follows the app rules list. i then deleted the whole list)
Firewall setting > expert settings > policies > default rules : ask, and checked show notifications for both block and allow. unchecked int.share and fast chksum.
Under app rules ive created a new grp. - Misc programs. here ive added Ventrilo… and a few other programs… like utorrent. Total commander,
block all to see if they cannot access the internet, but programs are open. set to BLOCK ALL CONNECTIONS and to ASK .
AIS declares a new rule for ventrilo, and removes it from my rule list… cannot find it anywhere but it still has access to the internet.
Please help… atm i think going back to avast 4.8 and my fortknox firewall is the way to go…
