avast 7 web shield blocks internet access?? why
« on: April 03, 2012, 08:29:17 PM »
I recently install avast internet security 7 .. but whenever I activate its web shield it blocks internet access . I can't browse any thing.. I am very tied by solving this issue but still failed from last 5 days.. Please Help me how to solve it so that web shield activation does not block internet access.. Please help me if some one really experienced facing the same problem

I don't know why avast is solving this issue .. I am very much dissatisfied after facing such a stupid issue.  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Sorry, but this stupid issue has been happening with isolated cases ever since I started using Avast! (ver. 5, 2 years),  a forum search would show you it is hardly isolated to ver. 7.  It most often happens after an upgrade.

Anyway, best thing I could tell you is to clean re-install.

how2; 

Download a new AIS setup>>http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_internet_security_setup.exe
The grab this uninstall tool, and run it according to instructions>>http://www.avast.com/en-us/uninstall-utility
After that, go ahead and run the setup you downloaded, insert your license file, and that should do it.

You say that "recently install avast internet security 7."

What antivirus were you using before that and crucially how did you remove it or install avast Internet Security ?
