Avast disconnects remote access

Hi there,

NON-technie here so be patient please! My issue is that I usually work from home via remote access to my work pc (and network, drives etc.) through specific software and a cisco VPN fob. Since recently installing AVAST Premium, every time I connect, the connection terminates after a couple of minutes (max). I tried the firewall thingy to allow the specific software (although don’t really know what I’m doing). My only solution (which isn’t really a solution) has been to uninstall all my avast stuff. HELP???
