Can you attach a screenshot of it, please?
Is this your first time using your wifi extension booster with Avast?
If it worked in the past then perhaps a restart of your device might help.

Try cropping the screenshot to only include the Avast Firewall User Interface window.
The jpg image format may be smaller than the .png image format, but you should be able to reduce the resolution in both formats without loosing much detail. My screen capture tool allows for reduction in bit rate (file size).
