Unknown .exe trying to get out

Private Firewall has just told me that
0c030a14-636f-46af-bb4e-42472c95ef93.exe
wants access to the internet and says that it’s Avast.
I blocked it after being unable to find any reference to it in a search - is it really Avast?
Using v.2016

Yes, it is the Avast emergency update and legit

I suggest you set a rule to allow the entire avast folder.
That way you won’t have to worry about such popups if it is avast that wants to connect.

I have allowed everything Avast and it was due to that that I was a bit worried.
If it pops up again I’ll allow it.

Thanks.

what exactly is an emergency update?

do a forum Search…also Search avast blog
