Avast free blocking Windows 10 ICS (hostednetwork)

[system]

Hello,

I’ve been struggling for weeks with this problem, which has been resolved as soon as I disabled avast!

The scenario:
Laptop with Windows 10, hostednetwork turned on (sharing wi-fi connection through wi-fi).

When I connect to the created hotspot with any iOS/Android mobile device, everything is working (except a few delays now and then), but when I connect from my MBP (OS X 10.10.5), internet sharing stops working in 1-5 minutes and I have to reboot Windows to get it working again.

I just turned off avast and everything works perfectly! Of course, I am not happy without antivirus software, so I hope this will somehow be fixed, or i will be forced to use some other av software.
