Title: Firewall Turned Off - Problem?
Post by: REDACTED on September 15, 2017, 08:42:22 PM

Not sure if this is a problem or not.

On occasions, usually after a restart, Avast is starting up with the firewall turned off.

I get the alert telling me, but since I do not switch if off, I am puzzled as to why it is turned off and it needs end-user action to turn it back on.

Any ideas?
