You can go back to factory default settings:

Open the Avast GUI > Settings > Troubleshooting > Factory Default > Reset Now.  Reboot.

Then if you want to add exclusions for any security software, like firewall, other resident programs if needed, you can do so.

Uninstall Threatfire (TF) per the vendor's instructions, then reboot.

There have been users reporting problems with TF.  Avast now offers a Behavior Shield, so TF would not be needed.
