So I have Avast! Internet Security on my 64 bit Windows 8 Pro computer, and early this morning around 3am I notice that I can't access any websites in Google Chrome or Internet Explorer 10 as long as the Web Shield is enabled.
I also noticed that https websites work fine, but http websites get the 138 Error (ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED) in Google Chrome, which is strange because I haven’t changed any settings and haven‘t installed any new programs.
I have even tried uninstalling Avast and reinstalling it but the issue persists anyway.
I have 4 computers running Avast Internet Security, but my Windows 8 machine was the only one affected by the issue (The other 3 run Windows 7 with SP1).
I would appreciate any suggestions to resolve the issue.
