There are at least two threads going re: this chatango thing... which Avast has chosen to ignore (not ignore this user... but ignore the entire multipage threads which is a common move for avast). The poster's attitude has come from avast being less than helpful, not vice versa.
Don't attack the messenger for stating the obvious... attack avast for feeling it's ok to ignore their customers.
After ignoring it for a month until I shouted in 30 pt loud red to get attention paid to it -- not a great resolution actually given what had to be done to get there so I would be a little reserved while breaking your arm patting yourself on the back...
And as to friendly, to paraphrase Harry Truman: "if you want friendly get a dog..."
Real software engineering (not "social site puffery") is a contact sport if you have ever been in a Silicon Valley design / code review, project management meeting, BUG MARKUP / RESOLUTION SESSION, etc. and real engineers have very little patience for stupidity, inattention to detail, process over production, and being nice while critical things go unattended to....
I was one of the other people who made a thread about the Flash version of Chatango no longer working with the newest version of Avast (it's a chat room used primarily on major Anime sites...it's actually quite popular), but it seems it was deleted.
However I see that issue is being looked into, so hopefully Avast can get a proper update out there soon. I had to do a system restore to get the old Avast back...so it would be nice to finally use the new one.
I had to do a system restore because nothing else worked. The only way I could get the Flash version of Chatango to work was to shut down Avast completely...even turning off the Web Shield didn't work, and obviously I want Avast to be on at all times. I played around with all the settings I could before I came here to see if this was a known issue or not...and nothing short of turning off Avast worked.
Sure did, several times. Even left it there for a while to see if the page would catch. Only turning off Avast worked.I had to do a system restore because nothing else worked.

Did you reload the page after disabling the shield?
I tried having page up and then disabled shield but still had spinning icon but as soon as I reloaded the page (F5) the page came up.
Hello guys,Awesome news!
we have identified the problem with Chatango. The binary communication that the flash plugin emits was parsed as SPDY traffic inside WebShield. We have now improved the detection of modern protocols SPDY and HTTP/2. The issue with Chatango seems to be fixed in our internal builds. When tested, we'll discuss how to deliver the fix to you.
Thanks for pointing out to the bug.

There is a new beta just released, that should fix the Chatango problem.I'd be happy if someone could verify that.
Thanks.
