@cooby The filter rule is for the Emergency Update exe not one of the random file names. I deleted all the old filter rules for Avast so I’m starting fresh to see if I can get this straightened out?

Oddly this has been happening for the last 2 weeks but today it has not happened yet. It usually happens right after I boot up in the morning but so far nothing. I will make screen captures of each one and post them here if and when they pop up again? If you’re familiar with Kerio you already know it will always use the first rule in the list which overrides the lower priority filters. So maybe one of the old rules was the problem? Since this is an ongoing problem with other firewalls also, I will post any new results here that may or may not help you.

Thank you for staying on topic and not joining the pissing contest about firewalls. :slight_smile:
