Avast "forgets" firewall application rules
« on: November 25, 2018, 06:05:20 PM »
At random times, Avast Premier "forgets" all firewall rules. This includes rules that I defined manually. This causes programs that I do not want to connect to the internet connect to the internet without my consent.

This usually occurs when Avast updates itself or sometimes when I restart my computer.

Does anybody know how to make the firewall rules stick after an update or restart?
