Windows Firewall gave me this message. Why?

[zeello]

My internet stopped working yesterday. This happens regularly. (maybe once a month) So just now I unplug the router then plug it back in. When I return to the PC, I see this message on the monitor. I don't recall ever seeing this message before, even though I have reset the internet this way many times before.

What should I do? I clicked 'Keep blocking' just to be safe. Judging by the message it seemed like someone was trying to hack me. Or maybe not. No idea to be honest. But I can still connect to the internet and Firefox works fine, so it looks like I made the correct choice since unblocking wasn't necessary.

Is this something to worry about? Any precautions I should take? I have avast installed so it should have shielded me from anything.

It's because you're using Firefox when you should be using Chrome.

Seriously though, chances are you just installed some new extension or your Firewall forgot that your web browser requires, y'know, Internet access.
