Advice Request Should you allow inbound connections for AvastSvc.exe?

[CoherentCrayon]

I'm using Comodo Firewall. It blocks AvastSvc.exe (C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\AvastSvc.exe) from receiving inbound connections (in the logs both the source IP and destination IP are local IPs (192.168.0.*). Do I need to allow inbound connections for it, or is it unnecessary?

I'm not bothered by many blocked connections in the logs, I just wonder if it's necessary to allow AvastSvc, if it does need inbound connections

Just try, block it, try to update the software and the database, if there is no issues, let it blocked; but personally i would let it connect.

I think you need to let it connect for the web shields to work properly

Yeah personally i dont care that much about blocked connections as you will notice if something isnt working quite right, but allowing whole application will help or having hips off
