    Yeah, that WAS interesting. It would have been annoying as all heck if that had happened to me!

    I have CCleaner 5.46 on the ex-Avast PC. Time to check all the CCleaner settings or downgrade to a pre-538 version...

    Hello, you may want to know that what JEAM experienced was probably Avast Wi-Fi Inspector testing his network devices for vulnerabilities.

    Cheers

    you're welcome. I've switched many computers from eset to avast and got used to this type of alert.
