I am getting messages from Avast at random times saying "Firewall Mode Changed. We detected the network BT Public Internet Service and automatically changed the Firewall Mode to Private/Low Risk mode".
I don't know a lot about computers but it seems strange to me that a public Internet service should be considered 'low risk' (whatever that entails), and so I would like to change it back to 'high risk', but I can't find any information on how to do this. I've tried clicking on 'Avast Premier', then 'Tools' then 'Firewalls' but can find nothing there that I understand. Does anyone know of any Avast user guide documentation that explains to the layman what the recommended Firewall settings should be and how to change them?
I am running Avast Premier, program version 12.3.2280.
Thanks,
John
