On a similar track ...
If you remove LMS from the firewall, set LMS to not restart on boot ...
then reboot and then when stabilised ... start LMS.
The firewall might then prompt to allow access.
Then set LMS to auto start (ready for the next boot).

There are reasons why giving LMS a reserved IP address via Dhcp is the
best approach but if you cant for whatever reason then you could
manually give it a static IP outside of the dhcp range.
How you do this depends on the os that LMS is running on.

Avast is "notorious" for causing all sorts of problems.
Try using the default Microsoft anti-virus. for Win 7 it's "Essentials"
I think.
And just run Malwarebytes occasionally.
Completely (and I mean completely) uninstall Avast, install "Essentials"
and reboot.
