[QUOTE="Indingo, post: 991637, member: 87984"] I am not sure as I'm not familiar with the software. I did not enable anything called (Real Site) or any module relating to network, just antivirus. I am just annoyed that it would change my DNS server without warning and route all my DNS queries outside of my VPN and to their own servers. This is especially bad considering Avasts history with selling user information. I am sure correlating my Avast account with my DNS queries would be possible if they wanted to for selling user data. It was an actual Avast VPN DNS server when I checked the hostname. . [/QUOTE]
