Now, does this mean that the Ask to Connect system is recognising Avast as ‘trusted’, as I okayed Avast initially, and, on that basis, is now allowing other Avast modules without asking me? Or is it simply failing to do sufficiently reliably what it’s supposed to do? If it really is the former (somehow I very much doubt it at this stage, or that functionality would have been publicized), then I’d be very happy with that as it would avoid unnecessary prompts. I certainly hadn’t had any prompt to allow it - though certainly I would have done so if I’d had that prompt. But this morning I saw a little red alert on the GW tray icon and found that the process ‘Avast Antivirus Bug Report’, reported as a new process, had accessed the Internet, and there it was in the firewall list, allowed. ![]() Well, I thought ‘Ask to connect’ would serve me just fine - and for a few days it had been performing just right.
