I am trying avast IS before buying, since my previous IS (kaspersky) was too cumbersome. I am having the following problem, since I installed it: upnp port forwarding is not working any more in utorrent. It is working fine with other applications. In utorrent, the log shows several unsuccessful attempts, but my router's log does not show any attempt to open a port via upnp. So it seems that the attempts are blocked before reaching the router. This only started happening when I installed avast, and only with utorrent. Other programs can be seen attempting and successfully opening ports on the router log. I have set avast firewall to allow all communications for utorrent (it was the default anyway), but still, the upnp attempts do not go through. Please help. It is a pity if this cannot be resolved, since I otherwise like avast.
