Hi, I recently updated to Avast 2014.9.0.2011 and I’m having an issue where even if I go to Settings>Active Protection>Firewall and turn the firewall off using “Stop Permanently” the firewall keeps turning back on within about 15 minutes. This is rather annoying since I like avast for it’s anti-virus but prefer Comodo’s firewall. Does anyone know how to actually turn the Avast firewall off permanently?
Control Panel>Program and Features>Uninstall a Program>Avast>Change>[uncheck firewall]>next>follow instructions… reboot.
Thank you! I never realized Avast had such a modular installation… or maybe I just didn’t remember from the last time I installed it.
You’re welcome.
