In the Troubleshooting Settings menu, there is a setting called "Enable Offline Mode" that, according to the description, will completely disconnect this computer from the internet. However, in the past it always said that the setting is only available if you have the firewall installed and enabled, which it has said on my Troubleshooting settings in the past, as I do not have the Avast Firewall installed as part of my Avast Free protection, and the setting would be greyed out and unclickable. Earlier today, however, I looked at the troubleshooting settings to discover that it is, indeed, clickable. I checked in Avast to make sure I didn't have the Firewall installed and even checked my Windows Security settings as well. I clicked the setting on just to see what would happen, and it did not indeed take my computer offline, which would make sense.
I still found this kind of odd, so I uninstalled Avast using the avastclear tool, then did a clean install. After the install, I checked the settings again and that setting was indeed greyed out with the "only available with Firewall installed" disclaimer. So I then do a regular restart by using the Windows menu, without doing anything else in Avast, and after the restart I look back at the settings and it's back to the way it was in the screenshot with it being clickable despite still not having Avast's Firewall installed. I then restore my settings, restart, checked the setting (clickable) then restart again for good measure, and the setting is still clickable.
I found this a bit odd. I'm not sure if this is a weird glitch with the new version. Is anyone else seeing this quirkiness as well?
