read_fd_with_timeout failed for client

[REDACTED]

Hi all,

192.168.1.7 - Windows 7
192.168.1.129 - Windows XP
192.168.1.81 - Windows 8.1
All in the same workgroup

Server & Gateway: Linux SME-9 up to date, as a firewall to Internet

I have a persistent problem. I have those messages repeating exactly  every 10 minutes for all Windows machines:

Jul  2 16:35:58 dorgee proftpd[6543]: 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.81[192.168.1.81]) - FTP session opened.

It took me a long time to find out that if I uninstall Avast, the problem go away.

I installed Wireshark and the machine all try to contack an Avast server every 10 minutes.

On the SME server I ajusted all the timeouts for a long time to activate with no result.

Any suggestions appreciated,

André
