Hi Dinesh, sorry for the delay but I have tried everything I can to capture the screenshot but it refuses to be captured!! If I capture the screen with Alt+PrtScn then the popup is not on the captured image…
The setting you ask for is a bit confusing as I have no "Enhanced Firewall" tab just "Firewall". In that Tab the setting for "program with no set rules" is "Auto Decide"
If the popup notification is happening because of this, may I suggest that it would be useful for the popup to have an button to take you to a location where you can set a rule and stop the popup from happening again (if that's what you want…)

Hi Philip,
We're glad to look into this & help you.
Please share us the screenshot of the pop up that you receive for better clarity.
Also, let us know the option configured for programs with no pre-defined rules in AVG Firewall (Open AVG - Menu - Settings - Full protection - Enhanced firewall - scroll down to find).
Hi,
I have AVG Internet Security Version 21.8.3202,
about every 30 minutes I get a popup notification that says "Firewall has allowed BackgroundDownload.exe to access the network" How do I turn this popup off? I know it's probably something simple but I just can't find any obvious option and I don't like fiddling with my Firewall rules in case I break something.
I have looked in the Firewall rules are there are 17 different rules for "Microsoft Visual Studio Background Download" they are all set for "Internet Out (otherwise auto-decide) except for one which is "Internet Out (otherwise ask me)".
Any advice on what to set/clear to get rid of the 30 minute popup would be most appreciated
regards
