Cannot Access Internet
« on: September 26, 2018, 07:56:28 PM »
cannot access internet through Wifi or ethernet.  It just started happening.  I discovered after some trial and error that it was caused by the Avast Firewall. Once I disabled the Firewall I was able to connect to the internet.    How do we fix this?

Version: 18.6.2349 (build 18.6.3983.37)
Virus Definition:180926-6

It was set to public. I changed to Private but same results.  I may just have to give up on Avast unfortunately.
