I have been looking on the internet on how to use newsleecher with avast, I understand I need to disable NNTP, but I can’t seem to find this option anywhere on how to do it.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
(I have avast home edition)
Open the avast! On-Access Scanner window (left click the avast icon in the system tray), if you see a Details… button, click it. Now select the Internet Mail shield, Customise button, NNTP tab and uncheck the scanning options, see image.

David suggested other (more protective) situation here:

I think both are better than just disabling the NNTP scanning.
