I've been entering every day at PCH.com with no issues, but as of this morning, Avast Web Protection has suddenly stopped access to static.adquire. This has BROKEN PCH.com I can not enter into my contests to win the money. I can't find a way to take away the block. I already put PCH.com and static.adquire on my exceptions list!
Please can someone tell me how to stop them from doing this? I don't need a nanny program telling me what I can and can't do on a website that I have been using for years with no issues until now.

Thank you. I reported it as a potential false positive. It still doesn't make it so I can take it off the blacklist myself. *shrug*

here is some information about how to "whitelist" a URL that is being blocked:

Thank you. I had already put PCH.com and static.adquire in the exceptions list. I just added it also to the advanced list which finally allowed me to continue on to entering into my contests!
