Avast is partly using the proxy setting. The program is still trying todo a direct connect to:
slow.ff.avasat.com
files.avast.com
i’m using program version: 2014.9.0.2008
is there a question here…
Question: Can avast use the proxy setting that are provided and not ty using the direct connection
avast is also trying a direct connection to:
More specific, the avast program that is trying to use a direct connection is AvastSvc.exe
adding to the list, avast is also trying to direct connect to program.avast.com
did some more testing:
Apparently avast is not using the proxy setting that are configured in the program all the time. So i tryed if avast is using the windows internet setting to determine the proxy configuration
tryed changing the “windows internet setting” but that made no difference.
Start → Settings → Control Panel → Internet Options from “Automatically detect settings” to “Use automatic configuration script” or “Proxy server” and hardcode the ip-number and port did also not work.
I have removed avast and going for another solution, thanks for the help.
Good luck. 
It’s a little hard to help when no logical question was ever asked.
i’ll try to give the question again in other words. Can avast fix the bug and use the proxy setting that are set in the program?
If you are referring to the proxy settings that can be set at Settings->Update, then note that it specifically says that this is “used for program updates”. I suspect that these proxy settings may not apply to other things like streaming updates, web scanning etc. If that is the case then maybe it’s not a bug, maybe it’s by design
Thanks for clearing that up. IMO a strange decision to implement a proxy for only a part of the communication. If you don’t want a pc to communicate directly to internet u use the option of a proxy, i don’t know why somebody would implement an option to use a proxy for only a part of the internet traffic.
