Been seeing this after the latest update. Keep on poping up every restart of my system.

Is this going to solve soon by the dev team?

Avast is aware of the issue and are working to identify the cause and then correct.
No way to know devs timetable for a fix. :)

Until this is fixed, you can always disable the Avast firewall and allow the Windows firewall to protect you.

If the disable the issue is not resolved.
You have to uninstall the avast firewall feature for the prompt and change to stop.

For anyone interested, I am still not seeing this behavior in the latest beta build. (Refer post #13)
No toaster/prompt to select network profile.

To run the beta simply download the latest beta and install over the stable version, However, to return to a Stable version from the beta, you must uninstall the beta via Control Panel/Programs and reboot, then use the Avastclear.exe cleanup tool (choose 'Safe Mode' when asked) then reboot again, and then install the stable version again.

Will the beta not update to the next stable version when released? ... does it stay on beta now forever ?

No, it does not.
Read the info/directions provided in the link Asyn provided if you choose to run a beta. :)
