cannot access internet through Wifi or ethernet. It just started happening. I discovered after some trial and error that it was caused by the Avast Firewall. Once I disabled the Firewall I was able to connect to the internet. How do we fix this?
Version: 18.6.2349 (build 18.6.3983.37)
Virus Definition:180926-6
Repair Avast:
same issue.
is your firewall network profile in puplic or private mode … what happens if you change?
It was set to public. I changed to Private but same results. I may just have to give up on Avast unfortunately.
one more thing to try if you want?
