Asyn==> That is what I meant by emailing them. I submitted a support ticket and they still have not gotten back to me. But it has been the weekend. Hopefully this week they will get back.

"
As of recent I have been led to conclude that certain individuals have utilized some loopholes to bypass my Avast protection.What makes you believe so?"
Ans: I have been hacked about 7 times (that I was aware of) this year on my workstation, and another three times on my old phone. I attained a new phone and reformatted my entire PC since, but the thing is my router configuration options have been partially blocked now. I will do a full reset next week when I hear back from Avast and my net provider - it is complicated as to why I do not do it now. I actually got the strangest hints that these hackers may in fact be trying to increase my security, but being someone's bitch is not comforting.
"
Somehow my router domain's security has been violated."
What is telling that has happened ?As explained above. I do not want to get into the details here.

I HAVE A NEW QUESTION (maybe I should have started a new thread but do not want to swamp)==>
Whenever I now log in with Avast VPN or what not, I get the following prompt message:
"Firewall Mode changed
We detected the network
MNF Data customers (avast! SecureLine TAP, AU)
and automatically changed the Firewall Mode to
Private/Low Risk Zone
*change*" (==> And if one clicks on 'change' it simply takes us to the 'Firewall Screen' and informs the Firewall is 'on' and that I am connected to: *MyDomainName*, MNF Data customers (avast! SecureLine TAP, AU))
Is my firewall security minimized with this alert? I consider myself to be in a high risk zone because I live in a densely packed neighbourhood. A kid walking down the street may have a go at hacking my wifi or PC using their phone, or any other neighbour in this surburbia.
I also have a
NEW problem:==>Whenever I do a trace of one of the running processes in >Network Connections>> (in Avast software) the following shows as an error message:
"avast : Avast Information
GeoIP failed
Error 0x20000004
*OK*"It didn't use to be like that 2-3 days ago. And I am actually wondering what data that trace does. It just shows a global map with several interconnecting lines across country nodes I presume. I am not sure how I could use this data for my security or knowledge assuming I got it to work again.
AND FOR THE MODERATORS HERE:I would highly suggest a setting where individual bloggers are notified by email when a new post is replied to on a given blog so we can quickly come back and check. I have been using philosophy/science and social forums for years and they all have that feature.[/i]
That is all... I hope somebody can help.
