Hello everyone.
I just upgrade my Avast to Premier, and I also did a clean installation (with the Avast removal program) of it, to prevent any possible bugs.
But, it doesn't matter which I choose for the webcam protection, and it does nothing.
Even if I set to block all programs, I will still be able to use the webcam on programs like Skype and Discord without any problems.

I mainly upgraded to Premier for the webcam protection, but it doesn't wrok (at least here).

Any suggestions?
