Seeing a lot of posts about IE not working/crashing I decided to check my IE 10 a couple of days ago.  Yes it stopped working,  however, I kept it going for long enough to disable the Avast Online Security add-on and haven't had any problems with it since then.  Just checked again (as it is my last choice for browsers) and it is fine.

My IE9 stopped working on both my PCs today.  Did as you suggested and disbled the Avast internet security plug-in and it works fine.  Must be a problem with the latest Avast update.  I'm avoiding IE until Avast fix it as I don't want to browse without protection.

Same problem with the 2014 update and Internet explorer. have W7 ultimate (everything up to date) and getting a 50 second delay on each page load due to the Avast plug-in. Remove the plug-in no delay!
Obvious problem Avast , please fix it!

How did you disable the Avast internet security plug-in?
I'm' running XP IE8 and And just installed and updated Avast 2014, then BAM...IE crawls or won't work at all.
Thanks

These are sad days for Avast. I have been running and recommending their system for many years and have never had these kinds of problems. It was always the bloated competitors that had this stuff going on.......

Once IE loads, (it may take a while) select the following:

Thanks a million........worked like a charm!!!
I can't tell you how many systems I have out there for neighbors, friends, family, etc set on automatic program updates that are going to run straight into this issue. Most of them I have not yet had a chance to migrate to FireFox or Chrome either!! YIKES my phone is going to explode as Avast pushes out these updates!! Oh Lord....

I'm having the same problem. Started in the last day or so and IE add-on has to be disabled to open ie. Firefox works fine.
