Maybe you don't download executable files, I used Ares this days and my avast p2p shield count was 0/0 so I search for some exe files and the number changed to 30/2.

Well avast doesn't attempt to control the windows firewall. In fact if you had the Avast Security Suite, which has its own firewall even that doesn't disable the windows firewall as it is designed to be compatible with it.

So I believe this is an unfortunate coincidence. If you have any other issues you want to discuss, then create a new topic so it can be resolved without being lost within this massive topic.

Exactly. But I faced this problem first time ever, after installing v7 (clean install since the update borked v6 and I had to use aswclear 2-3 times in safe mode to uninstall v6) so not sure what else could have caused it. Manual enabling also did not work. I had to re-boot.

Recent definition updates seem to have improved things a bit, I think. Hopefully another program update expected soon should resolve most issues.

As I said, unfortunate coincidence, if the program doesn't have the functionality built in to disable the windows firewall then it can't do that. Since the avast free version doesn't have a firewall there would be no need (which I believe you are using though you don't say or have a signature) to disable it.

Actually, the first version of avast 7 I tried was the the RC and it did result in the Windows 7 Firewall being turned off after the required reboot.  I rebooted again without touching anything and the firewall was back on but then it said that my sound service was not running. A third reboot finally resulted in everything working as it should. There may be something in the way avast! loads during boot time that can cause problems. This was on the Win 7 machine. The other two had no such problems.

Hi!

I updated to avast 7 from the built-in program and rebooted. No problems! Every shield is working, the computer is working as fast as before and no conflict with the firewall (Comodo 5.9, I tested by blocking iexplorer and comodo dragon with new blocking rules in comodo and the browsers could not connect to internet, I removed the rules and they coul connect again). Manual update works also.  No random hanging. I used the computer with avast 7 for almost 2 hour now and rebooted twice (just to be sure) and......so far so good! The computer is a Dell Studio with win 7 64bit. For some days ago the upgrade to avast 7 did not work (as I wrote on page 25)
I disabled avast's autosandbox and reputation sevices.
Again sorry for my english!

Today P2P shield count returned to 0/0, a little bug here?

Have you rebooted the system? as that would reset it.

I had no problems at all with ver 6.0 AIS, since upgrading found all sorts of headaches and my old computer was so sluggish when browsing. Have un-installed and now using MSE and all is good. back to fast browsing, so maybe AIS is not for me! Will re think when all the reported problems on here are fixed!

 >:(Hello not even downloading the exe, nothing happens, the module is active p2p, but do not report any scanned file this happens on both PCs, I remember that I use emule for Fastweb users.

Exactly, so the numbers are cleared after restart, thanx.

Waited until today to update.  Used built in installer.  Restarted after install.
Did not activate account or reputation settings.  Listed 7.0.1407 as being
installed.  Everything working fine as of now.

Thanks for the update and all the great work you guys do. I updated from the previous stable version of Avast, straight from the program itself, without any problems whatsoever. Am using Windows XP and Comodo Firewall, I did update engine and virus definitions before updating the program. I have put this information in as there appear to be some users having a problem updating straight from the  program itself.
