After updating to the latest release, a window pop-up asking to select my network (private/public). I have set this to private in the setting options and this still appears. The orlder release did not have this problem.

There are other topics relating to this bug. Avast is aware.

What makes you say it's caused by Avast

Hmm. Since this update my email client won't connect with the server unless I turn off email protection in Avast.

Users/posters need to provide More Information if they expect help.

What email client

Email client is Forte Agent 8. Error message is "Connection closed unexpectedly by server" so I expect the problem is at the server end rather than the client.

The latest version 19.5.4444.501 program 19.5.2378
I've done everything possible to stop this issue which still persists.
! Mark showing on Avasts system tray icon, to fix it I have to right click tray icon, then Avast shield control and enable the one that has been disabled, I really forget which one it is, I had to do this 4 times before the exclamation mark would disappear permanently in this session.

This issue has persisted for quite some time now on windows 7

Please can this be fixed, I've tried everything.

Good day...may i ask if anyone could point me to the older avast free installer ( the last version 18 if possible)?Lately i am having this problem with my online game named League of Legends using the latest version of Avast Free 19.5. Avast wont let the game to start properly,without any cybercapture prompt or virus warning at all and no malicious file is being detected.I already did the total exclusion of the Folder and Files related to the game,at first it will start normally but after reboot the same problem persist.I also tried to repair avast installation to no avail.The only walkaround for me is to totally disable Avast for the game to start normally.Already did full scan of my PC and its clean. 5 Personal PCs are experiencing this problem today.Thanks.

You can report a suspected FP (File/Website) here: https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php

^ Thanks i already did that though i am not quite sure what file to attach since there are no detections and the virus chest is empty.I only based my attachment to the error that the game throws.It is fine? I only attach the .exe and the stub.dll.

If you still really want to uninstall Avast v19 and then fresh install older Avast v18.8, that version is still made availble available for XP and Vista users from the Avast.com website.
If you go to the website then scroll down to bottom of compare products page you will see link for Vista and XP.
Or look at the links here

However, it may be best to seek a solution to your problem with v19.

Highly doubt the user is looking for a version that runs on XP.
