Ah, that makes more sense! Misunderstanding on my part.
And I agree, stupid AVs with limited options are not worth the time.
I briefly used PCTools a few months back, but got rid of it quickly since it was way too intrusive and I'm not the kind of person who finds constant alerts and reminders from my AV reassuring. I find it endlessly annoying. Like any good security system, it should be in the background and only make its presence known when it has to.
I recently got rid of Avira and installed Avast, and the connection error started after the switch, so since I hadn't thought to test it, I'll shut off Avast next time it happens and see if it changes anything.
No firewall, only Windows Defender, and it has been told to let Kobo come and go as it pleases.
