Use use Tradestation for data feed for stock/futures trading. When Avast updates, I almost always lose the connection with Tradestation (occured 10 times yesterday) - All other data feeds work (e.g., use Scottrade and no problems). Is there some kind of issue unique to Tradestation?
I think that it may be how the tradstation works, if it is using an http or https connection and doesn’t stick rigidly to that protocol it may break the connection.
The web shield monitors http traffic, but not https, so if there is non standard use of the http protocol whilst in http and or the switching between http and https, it could drop/lose the connection.
You could try exclude the tradstation IP address in the avastUI, Settings, Troubleshooting, Redirect Settings and add the IP address or domain name for tradestation in the Ignored addresss: window.
If DavidRs suggestion doesn’t work, you could change your automatic download setting to “ask when Update is available”. Then you could download when it doesn’t interfere.
Well the auto update shouldn’t interfere as it doesn’t use the browser and runs in the background on a low priority and restricted CPU usage.
