Avast 7.0.1474+Online armor=blocked browsers - SOLVED

[hornster]

Hi all. I'm using Avast 7 and Online Armor, both latest versions. After Avast's latest update (7.0.1474), both Firefox's and IE's access to internet is cut. If I deactivate either Avast's Web shield or OA's firewall, everything works as it should. uTorrent seems to work correctly at all times. I've tried uninstalling Avast via the uninstall tool, then reinstalling - no effect. I have Avast as an exception in OA and vice-versa. Everything (Avast, Online Armor and Firefox) is latest version, I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate. Any suggestions?

Ensure that avastSvc.exe is allow internet connection. If it is there and allowed delete the entry for it that should force OA to ask permission again.

Thank you DavidR, there were two entries for avastSvc.exe in OA's rules one of which was blocking a few ports including 80. I removed both rules and now everything works as it should.

You're welcome.
