This is a new avast installation. My home networks are not public - my computer is not discoverable, my wifi doesn't even broadcast ssid - yet avast lists my networks as public and says it does not monitor public networks. I choose home for the setting.  Is there something wrong with my network?  Is something forcing it to be public behind my back? How do I check that? Advice please.
