I have the paid Internet Security current version, and updates… however I am having some major issues with my firewall not responding to my settings. Within the past 2 days, my PC has been sending/receiving information from multiple networks that Avast should not be allowing. For example… a government organization in the UK (???), now today somewhere in the middle of the ocean without info about the IP address. Someone please help me to restore my Avast to protect my system from any further “weird” stuff happening.
Thanks in advance.
BTW, all this weird stuff started happening back the end of October. I did go to bleepingcomputer.com for help because I didn’t think it was an Avast issue. After running several tests, the expert who helped me told me that Microsoft Security Essentials and Avast were conflicting with one another and to remove/uninstall one or the other. He suggested getting rid of Avast, however I just paid another $30 for a years worth of protection, so I kept Avast and got rid of Microsoft. Now I am wondering if I did the right thing. I truly need help please

How do know this?
Explain your problem in more details...
My CPU will run at about 95% for 30-40 seconds periods intermitently while I am online. So, I checked my real time shields and my network connections were compounding as I looked at it… up into the thousands. So, I just checked the last network connection and it had a strange IP address, so I used the network utility in the firewall section and did a trace. Does that help?
No one from bleeping has responded to my query yet. Haven’t received and help from them, and I posted yesterday. All they did was move it from the general forum to the “virus…infection…” forum list.
Here’s the link to my request for help. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic478237.html
How do I post a copy if the forum won’t allow me because it has over 10,000 characters. I tried doing it as an attachment and that didn’t seem to work?
This is beginning to drive me crazy. As I am awaiting your reply… I checked my networks again and now my PC is exchanging info with Bar-Ilan University Network in Haifi Israel
