Weather Direct Blocked

I have Avast Free installed on my PC and love it. Recently I hooked up a USB RF Gateway for a weather gadget that sits on my desk. Avast seems to be blocking something in the mix. The USB RF receiver can’t update the gadget on my desk so long as Avast is running. Is there a way to unblock this on the free version. Thanks.

Hi Ozzythedog,

I’m just a forum member, but I have some ideas for you.

Disable the Avast shields one by one and test to see which one is causing the updater to be blocked.

Then once you figured out the one that is causing it, add the application to that specific shield’s exclusion list.

You can add exclusions by opening avast → real time shield → select the shield and click on “expert settings” → Exclusions.
