The servers are correct. EV1 (aka “Everyone’s Internet” http://www.ev1.net ) is the main provider of our updating servers.
So it’s probably really avast just pinging its servers.
You can try setting the “My computer is permanently connected to the Internet” option which will turn off the pinging - but of course, this makes sense only if you are indeed permanently connected to the Internet (cable/dsl etc).
