Avast Premium Security Firewall is throttling Internet Speeds

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

For months I’ve been trying to figure out what is throttling my internet speeds.
Today I discovered that it’s the Firewall in Avast Premium Security.

:frowning: What the hell?!? >:(

Is there a fix to ensure this doesn’t happen?

I’m consistently being throttled out of 200MBs speeds thanks to the firewall.

That seems like a pretty big issue that needs to be addressed.

  • Which version/build of Avast Premium…?
  • OS…? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP/Build…?)
  • Other security related software installed…?
  • Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?

Wait a second? Can you maybe explain how you discovered it’s the avast firewall? That can give details, as it maybe is not the case.
