Disable wifi/wireless network advisor fully, completely and permanently

[dlsauer]

I have avast free 8.01489 and vdv 130628-1 on win7 and I need to know how to 100% diable and permanently disable the wireles/wifi unsecured network interfereing with my wireless connection.

I am aware that the wireless network is not encrypted, and that is becuase it is the free wireless provided at this location.

Since this update to avast 8.01489 this pop up about unsecure wireless will drop the connection.

I've clicked on that box "do not notify for this network" till I am blue in the face. I just want this to stop and quit interfering with the connection.

Short of completely removing avast, which I am about one step away from doing..how can this be disabled for good.

thanks in advance.

The free version of avast doesn't have a firewall, so I don't believe this "I've clicked on that box "do not notify for this network" till I am blue in the face." has anything to do with avast.

Can you attach an image of what it is that you are clicking.

What is your firewall ?

It MOST CERTAINLY IS AVAST! 

"Unsecure Wireless Network...Click here to start the Wifi Security Advisor..." Nice big avast popup....


This is on a remote system so unless I happen to be connected to it when this thing shows up. I've already disabled network shield, and it seems that really the only way to disable this thing is rm avast.

What is your firewall ?

All firewalls are disabled.

I think the solution is just to delete avast period. I can't babysit this thing any longer... it is cutting a connection that needs to be active 24/7/365, period.

I don't know how it is cutting a connection, the avast free version isn't/doesn't have a firewall.

We ask questions to get a better idea of the problem, that is why I asked for a screenshot, its all right you saying it is a big avast popup, I can't visualise it and I have never seen what you describe in the time that I have been using avast free (a little over nine years).

This NICE BIG POP UP.

What ever is monitoring wifi connections I want to disable it! Period, permanently.

I've clicked on the box to not show for this network a thousand times it continues to do it.

Please open up Avast and show use which version you are using. Post a screen shot here. Using an unsecured network is a major security issue in itself. It most likely keeps coming back cause the Wifi you cannot too has a roller code. Check to see the how many times your IP address changes.

Thanks, but I do not wish to debate or discuss the issues of this connection. The situation dictates this is the connection I have available at this time. I am interested in disabling this intrusive inspection of the connection which disconnect this connector or in the alternative  I remove avast.

It most likely keeps coming back cause the Wifi you cannot too has a roller code. Check to see the how many times your IP address changes.

No in reviewing the IP log, there is no change to the IP when this warning and disconnection occurs.

I just want to disable this inspection totally and completely. I would prefer not to remove avast, but at this point this appears to be the only solution.

I've had this happen to me with the last popup about being on an unsecure WiFi channel.
(I've also reported this thread to the Mods and hope they will look into the matter)

Thanks for correcting the problem :

Do you mean that checking the box works for you as the OP was reporting that it didn't work for him ?

Of course if you change to another 'unsecured' network then it would be back again.

Precisely. Checking the box stopped the  notice till I checked into the next hotel.
As long as you check the box, you'll only receive one initial notification.

I have Avast Free, and it is interfering w/ my ability to navigate. 

Have a County Govt Site that I visit fairly frequently - using my wireless modem will not allow me to go into it. One of the few rare locations I can't visit, although seems to me I was prevented from accessing another site last night as well.

Coincidentally, I still have access to another internet provider, which I have hardwired. Tried access using the old provider, and "poof", I can get on the County site. Go back on wireless connection, and I get the Avast pop-up message about needing to secure my computer.

I do not need to secure this! I am out in the boonies, 1/2 mile from the nearest neighbor. Let go of my arm!!

I have a feeling that merely removing the pop-up message won't keep it from preventing me to go forward again...

Calling Avast's 800 number, Ms Unintelligible gave me an immediate answer to merely uninstall Avast, reinstall, and everything will be magickly fixed. Have a feeling that is the default response to any problem.

Opinions?

Did you check the box and then continue to your website
The free version doesn't have a firewall and only blocks dangerous websites.

[peg645]

I did not get that screen. I got one that tells me how to secure my network. I have no interest in doing that, and frankly, could care less about the pop-ups. What I do care about is their controlling where I navigate to, and requiring me to secure my network. It's a home system that is in the middle of nowhere, I monitor its usage, and no one else is getting to me...except Avast. 

And the dangerous site, is a County Real Property site. Where's the danger...? And why could I visit it when not using my own wireless network?

An image of the pop-up might help pin down what the issue is.

As would the URL you are trying to connect to.
