Hi Avast people!

[REDACTED]

I know you are super top end computer security and all..
Top of the line when comes the time to finds out what is s treat and whats not but looks like you gonna need a some help there...


I got some PRO tips for you:

Diablo 3 is NOT a virus
Utorrent is NOT a virus

I know its hard to believe but yep..

[Eddy]

avast doesn't detect them as virus, so what problem is it you are having ?

[REDACTED]

Can't run Diabllo 3 without having to disable avast

If avast detect a "virus" as you say, there should be a popup warning with some info on
What does that popup say?

[REDACTED]

Just... add ALL the well known games to "built in" exeptions ....

Make sens.

If you have avast with firewall and see a block

Try this, turn off port scan

Avast UI -> Protection -> Firewall -> Settings -> Advanced -> Uncheck "Enable automatic port scan detection"

So what you are saying is, the problem is "automatic port scan detection" is a bad thing / useless thing in Avast?
And, that its ok to disable it?

On another hand, I dont have Firewall enabled

[Eddy]

No that is not what he is saying.
There is a known bug in it and avast is already working on it.
Disable it for know and enable it again after avast has released the fix for it.

I played Diablo 3 and have never seen a popup regarding its a virus but what youre describing to me sounds more like it was added to the gaming mode section of avast.

[Eddy]

For those who disabled the port scanning, it can (and should) be enabled again.
The bug is fixed.
