Title: Problem uploading files in web browser
Post by: REDACTED on March 03, 2018, 11:46:51 AM

Finally, after more than 6 months :'( , I discover that my problems uploading files from browser to wordpress site and also on another php site are caused by avast. If I disable avast, uploading work ok, but with avast active the uploading start, upload some kb and then stop. After some minutes of timeout  wordpress give me a http error. I usually use palemoon as my default browser. But I have same errors also with firefox. I have avast free (always updated) on win7x64.
Same help on this or someone that have same problems?

Thank you

Unfortunately, there's no additional support (Email/Phone) for Avast Free.
But you can submit a bug report in "About Avast".

This may be the same issue I discovered with "large" projects in App Inventor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/App_Inventor_for_Android) that did not receive any attention from Avast. I have turned the Avast Web Shield off until someone stumbles on the bug and fixes it.

Larger projects fail to upload with Avast Web Shield active. (https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=208500.msg1419668#msg1419668)
