Avast blocks me to my Hotmail account
« on: May 18, 2013, 11:35:14 AM »
I have been using Avast Free version for a while without any problems until today it blocked me to read my emails from my Hotmail accounts. The emails I had received were from known people, but Avast says it blocked a script and ....... A new page opens in my browser from Avast.com explaining short about the reason for blocking me to read my emails but many reasons why I should increase my protection by switching to a paid version!
Anyone has an idea how to let Avast Free to accept my Hotmail page???

The same thing is happening to me. Avast is blocking my hotmail account.

I can not even enter Hotmail through IE 10 because of a missing Java script, but can enter Firefox but unable to read my emails!

How long will it take to correct this failure?

I am glad I am not the only one experiencing problems.... I have now lost all of my stored emails within files and I have also been unable to access my Skype account too.  I even attempted to open a new Hotmail/Outlook account without success... still blocked as a malicious programme.

This really is an unacceptable state of affairs... I do hope this is rectified soon.

It should be fixed now.

Found a way to bypass this:
Go to Avast program

Settings --> Global exclusions --> press urls tab --> add www.mail.live.com

Now I can read my emails, but I hope Avast correct this.
