Depends if Avast is in front of the firewall or after it.
I think Eddy is trying to say that hardware firewall could be 'before' avast! protection...  ::)

I did see one time running Sygate latest 5.6 free when it was really late starting, thx to my good avast, a warning from network shield.
I've never had a Network Shield warning...
Maybe the firewall but I think that Windows Updates are due to solve this problem too...

Turn off your firewall if you have updated all the patches and dare to do so. ;)

I see always that network shield giving me warnings if no firewall.

Maybe Windows could be secured really tight so you would not see those alerts, I am not sure about that.
