Not trying to micro manage anything.
The outbound rule I have for avastsvc.exe in WIN 7 firewall is to allow all. No restrictions on protocol, ports, etc. Yet I keep getting popup alerts from the firewall on svchost.exe connections. Appears avastsvc.exe is doing activity that the WIN 7 firewall does not like.
I have allowed both RpsSc services which I really should not have to and I am still getting firewall alerts.
I am allowing TCP port 21, 80, 443, and 1935 outbound for IE8. I also have a separate rule for IE8 to allow outbound TCP to port 12080 localhost 127.0.0.1.
I do not have a firewall rule for avastsvc.exe inbound.
I never received a firewall alert for avastsvc.exe by the way.
