In previous post I have shown how to uninstall Avast components like Firewall or secureline VPN. Most users say that their hotspot is not working even they disabled the antivirus security.

The Security software has their own policy to protect your PC from Viruses, Malwares and other types of Network Threats. It recognizes any kind of third party software as untrusted software and when you wish to share Internet Connection through Hotspot, Security Applications Blocks them to keep stay safe your PC from any kind of risk. 

To share wifi hotspot internet connection you must add it to their White list area.  The white list is a list of trusted programs or other resources. To get Connectify Hotspot and your security software to cooperate. When you’re using Microsoft’s own Windows Firewall, Connectify Hotspot can usually configure the settings for this.
