Avast Free 2014.9.0.2006: When the Online Security plug-in is enabled in IE9 my Google home page and other websites can sometimes take many seconds to open or cannot be opened. I see only a blank screen. I am using Google search engine. The problem seems to be intermittent. The same websites and my home page can sometimes open within a second or two with the plug-in enabled. When it is disabled, the same pages reliably open within a second. The Add-On Manager in IE9 tells me that the plug-in loads in .02 sec, but navigation time is 12.22 secs!! Shockwave flash object and Java helper are the only other add-ons enabled. I keep my computer running lean and fast (Core i7, 16Gb 1600MHz RAM, nothing but Avast in Startup Menu, cookies and temps cleared, all clean and up to date).
I did not check navigation time for Avast plug-in with the previous version of Avast free because there was no lagging or failure to navigate.
Is navigation time of 12.22 secs and occasional failure to navigate what I can expect with Online Security plug-in enabled in IE9, when running Avast Free 2014 with Windows 7 64 bit?
I have disabled for now. I suppose it is not practicle to revert to the previous version of Avast. Is that so? Would it be worth uninstalling and reinstalling Avast free 2014?
