Why does Avast suddenly thinks my home network is a public network?
« on: March 20, 2024, 09:43:18 PM »
All of a sudden a few days ago, Avast started checking my home network (Ethernet), to which the desktop it protects has been connected for years.

I can't figure how to make Avast understand it is a Trusted Network.

It's probably set to 'Public' on your Windows profile.
