Title: AVAST 2014.9.0.2016 Problems
Post by: BobFam on March 28, 2014, 02:43:22 AM
I had the Avast free version for years and never had any problems. I upgraded to their Avast Internet Security (2014.9.0.2016) Now I am having lockups on a lot of safe sites and have to disable the shields in order to view the sites. I talked to their product support and they said it was that I have Windows Defender enabled at the same time. It was enabled when I had the free version. I now have disabled it and still get lockups.

I have a friend with a laptop and has version 2014.9.0.2013. He can connect to my wireless and has no problems on the same exact sites. He has Defender enabled and never has had a problem.

Has anyone had these problems with Avast Internet Security 2014.9.0.2016? Can I uninstall the new version and install the older version to try it.

Thanks, Bob.

Which version of Windows are you using? If its Windows 8 you should disableDefender as it s full anti virus solution.

HI. I am using WIN7 and Defender is disabled. It looks like it is my AVAST firewall. If I turn it off all works. The WIN7 Firewall is turned on. Regards, Bob.
