Force Data Connection ON gives other programs access to internet?

I have Wifi and mobile internet access turned off, but it still sends GPS information online every 15 minutes.
That in itself is not a problem, but I also have Whatsapp installed. Someone wondered if I was online in the middle of the night. I assume that avast turns on internet access for a short time, and whatsapp managed to connect. Could be confusing if your online all the time, without really being online.

Any way to turn this off, while still being able to send info to avast?

Hello,

I’m afraid this isn’t possible unless you use the firewall to restrict internet access.
