igor

all that i can clearly recall at this point is that it was avast attempting an outgoing internet access - i was not real concerned about it at the time and did not really take note as to the exact site it was going after, seems like it was an avast.com address, but again, i’ve slept since then

the point of interest was that it occurred after the reboot after the complete de-install (using the downloaded avast utility to uninstall), so maybe it was trying one last “phone home” to indicate the unintstall? i could remove the firewall block to see if it is still lurking, but if i do that i am not certain i would be informed of a subsequent attempt…
