Laptop connects to mobile hotspot but no internet access
« on: March 31, 2019, 03:14:45 AM »
Probably been asked before but since downloading Avast I can no longer access the internet via mobile hotspot even though it connects to hotspot. 
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated but I'm not too technically minded so easy instructions would be helpful thanks.

Is your avast firewall network profile in private mode? .... reboot computer after selecting private

Sorry to ask, but is the AV installed or only Avast Cleanup..?

I initially had the free version and then upgraded. I assumed I was getting AV as well. So if I dont have AV why is the hotspot blocked?

Well, Avast Cleanup Premium is not the same as Avast AV Premier.
