It seems to be the Energized lists that do this. https://energized.pro

I'm gonna send them a message about it...

So, basically all of them. Well, there's your problem avast! team. It would be helpful if you stated all this info clearly somewhere on privacy pages or something what addresses are and what they are used for, so people don't just blindly block them coz they look suspicious...

Can I just add - my lads laptop is STILL calling home to places like ip-info.ff.avast.com and emupdate.avcdn.net and ipm-provider.ff.avast.com

AVAST is uninstalled completely - even used the Avast removal tool ! 

Why and how is avast STILL calling home?

Ive added a rule to the firewall to block it but this is really bad
