It depends. If you are on a DSL or Cable connection, get a cable/DSL Router such as the
Linksys BEFSR41. This will isolate those Exploits to the Router and not the PC and Avast
will have nothing to alert about.
To increase the security, I always suggest blocking both TCP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139 and 445
on *any* SOHO Router.
