just terminate the web shield and avast will work just like before. web shild appears to work well with some and not at all with others like me. Mine is exaclty the same problem.
That is a poor choice and from your previous posts, it is not exactly the same as your problem, you mention nothing about https:
@oneofus
What browser are you using?
No problems here with https: they don't get checked by web shield.
Is there anything in your firewall logs?
Were there any error messages displayed?
