Title: Microsoft Outlook doesn't connect if Avast is enabled
Post by: Murugan N on April 08, 2019, 07:42:28 AM: Hi Team,

I have installed avast and purchased Internet security licence

OS - Windows 10
Avast Version - 19.3.2369 (build 19.3.4241.445)
Virus Definition 190407-6

My company uses VPN for emails, VPN Client is Citrix - NetScaler Gateway

I have included Outlook.exe and the Vpn client location as well as the file in the exceptions

Still it doesnt work, IT WORKS ONLY IF I COMPLETELY DISABLE AVAST

Pls help me configure Avast settings and whitelist the necessary files

Thanks

Try private and reboot?

https://support.avast.com/en-eu/article/Antivirus-Firewall-Application-Rules

=================================================================

NOTE:The Network profiles control the settings which determine how strictly Firewall protects your PC.

Private: a lower level of security suitable for when your PC is connected to a trusted network such as your home or work network.
This profile enables better connectivity, and permits all communication within the network.

Public: a higher level of security suitable for when your PC is connected to a public network such as in a cafe or airport.
Because public networks present greater security risks, no incoming communication is permitted when this profile is set.

Disabled Firewall - No Changes and still the outlook shows disconnected

Disabled Avast agent - Works perfectly fine
