hi!
i woke up this morning with avast asking to reboot. after that, things went bad.
avast icon in the tray bar was red saying i was unprotected. user interface was having a bad day but assured me i was protected and some programs were being accused of wanting to access the internet even though i already said they could. i restarted the system many times, nothing solved. i went to avast installation folder, executed avast UI manually, it opened. went to firewall settings, all looked fine but still the same question over and over again. tried to manually set the "allow" for each program in the rules, didnt solve.
went for updates and asked to check for updates (i dont think there will one there since avast just updated itself, but tried anyway) and avast keeps looking for it forever. i dont think anything im seeing in the interface can be trusted and if things are this hard to figure out i would like to "downdate" (if this word ever exists, i want to go back to previous version) until i can trust this new version.
