avast doesn’t detect them as virus, so what problem is it you are having ?

If avast detect a “virus” as you say, there should be a popup warning with some info on
What does that popup say?

If you have avast with firewall and see a block

Try this, turn off port scan

Avast UI → Protection → Firewall → Settings → Advanced → Uncheck “Enable automatic port scan detection”

So what you are saying is, the problem is “automatic port scan detection” is a bad thing / useless thing in Avast?
And, that its ok to disable it?

On another hand, I dont have Firewall enabled

No that is not what he is saying.
There is a known bug in it and avast is already working on it.
Disable it for know and enable it again after avast has released the fix for it.

I played Diablo 3 and have never seen a popup regarding its a virus but what youre describing to me sounds more like it was added to the gaming mode section of avast.

Eddy · 2017-04-24T08:44:33.000Z

For those who disabled the port scanning, it can (and should) be enabled again.
The bug is fixed.
