Avast Internet Security: Is there a lockdown feature in Firewall?
« on: March 09, 2013, 08:16:22 PM »
I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to simply block all incoming and outgoing network traffic temporarily in case you are concerned about suspicious activity?

Most other firewalls I've used had this ability.  I haven't yet seen it in Avast IS firewall.  Can someone point me to it if it exists?

Thanks in advance!
