Avast IS 5 - What happened to my block rule??

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Thank you for making AIS5 available as a trail. I’m running v5.0.377/100119-0. As a former Pro4 user, first impression: nice!

I created a firewall rule to block in/out an app. The rule initially appeared correctly in the Applications Rules pane and it tested OK by blocking and logging.

I noticed that the rule is now… gone. ??? While it’s still blocking and logging OK, I no longer see it in the Applications Rule pane.

Where did it go? How do I get to it to delete/mod/whatever??

Cheers.

Check all the groups in the application rules. It may have been placed under other.

It’s not anywhere. Groups or otherwise.

Bump.

I guess you found a bug… can’t help there sorry, only the devs can do/fix something…I noticed already that some answers to alerts were not remembered, when they’re exceptions to a global rule for an app.

Thanks. I bumped this up just for grins. While the AV side is stellar, the firewall is elementary at best in its granularity and from what I gather depends on the resident Windows firewall. I have already uninstalled my trial.

Not sure if it’s a bug so much as an oversight. In that Applications Rules pane, the only two columns are Application and Allowed connections. So, I have a rule that doesn’t allow any connections…

Think about it.

I know this firewall isn’t a finish product like the AV is. Expecting program updates ;D
