Hey, today i have reinstalled windows 7 fresh install. one of the first things i installed was Avast free antivirus, i have used it for years before i got my new hardware and it worked fine.
But now all of a sudden webshield constantly blocks every website, apart from google. I have no idea why Google search still works, but it blocks every other website for around 1min to 10min.
If i disable webshield i get internet access immediately again. I'm not sure if this is to do with a new update. Hopefully it is, because this problem has come up in the past and the avast team have fixed it fast according to other posts in 2012 & early 2013
I searched around on Google and tried about 5 different fixes, none of them worked. Its not the browser either i have tried multiple browsers, webshield is definitely blocking all internet access for the most part.
I really do not want to switch to a different antivirus, i love avast. I just hope someone can help me with this issue, thanks.
I use latest version of Google chrome, windows 7 ultimate-64 bit, avast free antivirus, i also have a program called "Qualcomm Atheros Killer Network Manager" for my Killer e2200 ethernet on my mobo, all the program does though is increase your bandwidth in games. I have windows firewall enabled and tried adding every single .exe located in the avast folder to the firewall exceptions list and nothing.
Thanks.
