Avast Firewall Blocking ESO Launcher
« on: May 24, 2019, 04:36:06 PM »
I just recently hardwired my computer to my home network I was previously on wifi. With the Lan connection Avast seems to be blocking the ESO launcher though it is still running in the background. I have to go into Task Manager to "end task" to get the launcher to reset. This worked fine when I was on the wifi connection. I can get the launcher to work if I turn off Avast firewalls. Is there a way to get Avast to allow this launcher through it's firewall?

Is your firewall in puplic or private mode?

Select private and reboot ..... any change?





Setting up Firewall Application Rules in Avast Antivirus

=================================================================

NOTE:The Network profiles control the settings which determine how strictly Firewall protects your PC.

Private: a lower level of security suitable for when your PC is connected to a trusted network such as your home or work network.
This profile enables better connectivity, and permits all communication within the network.

Public: a higher level of security suitable for when your PC is connected to a public network such as in a cafe or airport.
Because public networks present greater security risks, no incoming communication is permitted when this profile is set.
