suggestion: firewall & app permissions (prompts)
« on: September 06, 2020, 08:38:13 PM »
Currently the firewall options for "For programs with no defined rules (i.e. programs not listed on the Application Rules page), do the following:" are: 

Auto-Decide
Allow
Block
Ask

Letting Avast decide everything always results in loss of functionality. However choosing "Ask" on this page creates nothing but endless nuisance prompts. Please consider the following:

add "Ask Before Blocking", so that if Auto-Decide wants to block, it asks first, and on the Ask dialog add an option to add the requesting application to the Allowed Apps list.

Thanks for considering.
