AT&T Smart Home App Reports "Network Attack Blocked" - Does Avast cause this?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

I keep getting alerts from AT&T’s Smart Home Manager App telling me they’ve blocked a Network Scanning Attack. :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:

Can anyone confirm that this is being triggered by Avast Premium Security’s Network Inspector feature?

I checked what appeared to be network-related logs on my computer and they seem to have entries that correlate to the alerts from the Smart Home Manager app, but I can’t be sure. :confused:

Here is a screen capture from the Smart Home Network Manager App.

Does the IP address (2600:1900:4040:29b:0:1) match anything Avast-related? :thinking:

If so, should I allow access to it? :thinking:

Same issue. Have you had any feedback from Avast yet?

Not yet.

Looking up that IP. It’s coming from Google in Oregon.

Yeah. I did that, too.
It’s kind of inconclusive.
Thanks for double-checking, though! :grinning_face:
