1) Go to Avira's configuration, tick Expert Mode, Firewall, Adapter Rules, ICMP Protocol, at the "Assume flooding if delay between packets is less than" change the setting from 50 to 5.

2) Do a full malware scan with avira as well as malwarebytes antimalware.

I also have this problem...following instruction but after going to firewall cannot see adapter rules and ICMP protocol to change settings?

No worries....found it :)
