"New network detected" popup bottom left
« on: August 01, 2019, 08:07:42 PM »
Every now and then (like once every week or two) I get a popup on the bottom right that says "new network detected" and im wondering why. I am always in the middle of just browsing the internet, not changing any settings in avast or anything. when i view it, the network name and ipv4 is the same, so i cant see anything that changed. Just wondering if this is normal and if its maybe the ipv6 changing or something? i do not know very much about the internet/computers etc so apologies if these are stupid sounding questions / don' t make sense.

Hi sorry, I think the popup actually said "a network change was detected" not "a new network was detected"

- Which Avast..? (Free/Pro/IS/Premier) Premier
- Which version..? 19.6.2383 (build 19.6.4546.514)
- OS..? (32/64 Bit..? - which SP/Build..?)windows 10 64
- Other security related software installed..? none
- Which AV(s) did you use before Avast..? none

Also I should note my pc is a clean install since 3 days ago. First thing I installed was avast. and i got that popup once since the clean install.

Are you using a VPN..? If so, that's normal.

Well, there can be many reasons, but the important thing is that's nothing to worry about.
