So I've identified part of the problem, which appears to be not just Avast. PS: I am an advanced user on Windows and hence please understand that I have tried all the basic stuff.Avast IS 9 Firewall Issues with Azureus Vuze Please help me out to solve the problem as I want to run Avast and Vuze both as I always have done. I have been a user for Avast and Vuze for long and have never experienced this problem. It is confirmed that the problem is because of Avast Firewall that is bundled with Avast IS 9. But what I want to know is the configuration required for the Firewall rules to enable Vuze to function normally. I know that most of this information is fit for a Vuze forum. Note that I have tried the solution given on the link to no avail.
VUZE AZZUREUS WINDOWS 8.1
This rules out any effect of Windows 8.1 in the problem. The same problem is also being faced on my home machine with Windows 7 on it. Also the video gives a glimpse of my Firewall settings in Avast. I have attached a link to the youtube video for better understanding of the problem.

Launching a torrent file, creates a new instance of Vuze.On clicking Analyze Wait Chain in the task manager for Vuze we get a message that the application is waiting for some Network IO Vuze runs in the background with no UI.Since upgrading Azureus Vuze does not startup on the UI. Java Versions: JDK and JRE 7u45 (x86 and 圆4), JDK and JRE 6u39 (x86) OS: Windows 8.1 (Verified the problem is also present on Windows 7) I upgraded to Windows 8.1, Avast 9 and Java on the same day.
