Thanks Charlie
this is not HTTP traffic it is NetBios-ns traffic so it has NOTHING to do with the actual update.
my updates complete as per requirement.
I was trying to establish why Netbios would even be bothering to connect
to AVAST - what can be spawning the netbios-ns to try to resolve a remote address.
Netbios-ns is not a requirement of the operation of AVAST.
I am currently working on why netbios feels the need to resolve the name at all.
However, I thought I would find out if anybody here at Avast would like to
provide some customer service by commenting on this strange new activity.
