Avast Premier Firewall problem with one web site

john1005 · 2017-04-09T16:46:26.000Z

The Avast Premier Firewall interferes with FineArtAmerica.com causing time-out issues. This is the only site I find this issue with but it is critically important to me.

If I shut off the firewall, the site works fine (and faster). If I turn on the firewall, I get time-out issues where the site will not load.

Do you in firewall settings see something called >> Enable automatic port scan detection

Try turn that off

You can change this settings from:
Avast UI → Protection → Firewall → Settings → Advanced → Uncheck “Enable automatic port scan detection”

Any change?

After extensive testing that DOES work. Firewall is back up. THANK YOU. I never would have found that on my own. I shall post this solution on the FAA board as well for others with the same issue.

This is a bug that the Avast team are investigating and should be fixed in the next version.
