Thanks for the reply Craig B.
Before I try this, let me ask this. As, I'm not a tech savvy person. Though I must admit I know enough to get me into trouble. But I found and see what your talking about. And before I do, if I uncheck the box for browser protection, and since you're the one suggesting it, and thus why I'm asking you, what risks, if any, will, would, could or can that bring? And is it a good idea to remove protection for the entire browser just to make it so one website will open and load properly? Does that make sense? Because removing all browser protection so Avast will or might (because I don't know if it will even work yet) let one website load and work properly, doesn't make sense to me?
Not saying I don't want or appreciate your reply and suggestion and I'm not saying I won't try it, as, I'm sure I can simply do the same again and recheck the browser protection box to reverse things. It's just before I do that, I need to find out why the other thing/s I've mentioned or tried, that should work, don't or won't work?
And before I do/try this, what I don't understand, and what I want to know is...Why, when I go into Avast, click on Settings, which opens another window and in that new box, General is the first option, and in General if I, you or anyone else scrolls down a little there's Exclusions. And If I, you or anyone else clicks on the drop down arrow for Exclusions, and where it says this..."Type paths and URL's to be excluded from scanning and from all shield protection. Be careful when these exclusions as any mistake might put your PC at risk."
You'd think, after clicking on that drop down arrow for Exclusions, then clicking on URL's and putting the URL of the website/s I'm having this problem with, in this case, I'm only trying to put/paste one URL, but why after doing so does it not solve/resolve the problem?
Why does this not bypass, because that's what it says it does, the website/URL from all webshield protection?
Again, Not saying I'm not going to try your suggestion. I just want to understand why Avast doing what Avast lets me do, and sorry for sounding and being repetitive, but, why does Avast not exclude the website from all webshields? And as I understand things, the Avast Firewall, or Firewall within Avast is one of those webshields.
Side note: And this question is directly to and for Avast. If this is an anti-gun thing, meaning, Avast is anti-gun and you've made the program distrust anything gun related and thus cause problems with gun websites, as, the problem I've requested help for only seems to effect gun type websites, PLEASE TELL ME. I'll simply request a FULL REFUND and I will gladly take my business elsewhere?
Sorry, but I'm fed up and quite pissed. I'm pissed because I swore I was going to dump Avast. But because after doing yet another upgrade, and after doing the upgrade, the problem seemed to be resolved. I mean, after doing the upgrade and rebooting as the program required, I went to the website I'm having and have been having the issue with and upon first getting there, it worked as it should. I then proceeded to keep restarting the main page and after about 10-20 times and it NEVER having the issue, meaning, the thumbnails not once never opened right up and not once when clicking on a link to an auction did the pictures never not open, I gladly renewed my subscription. And I'm pissed because here I am now once again suffering with the same damn problem I have had for about a year, all over again. I'm pissed at myself for giving them another chance. I'm pissed Avast can't and or won't tell me how to fix this. I mean, come on, you have to know they know how to resolve this? It's their program. And you'd think it's an easy fix for the tech savvy out there. And it shouldn't take a support ticket to get it resolved. Letting a website through a firewall, or through the webshields, should be an easy fix. Why I though and think putting the URL into the Exclusion section should work. I guess I'm against doing another support ticket because, and sorry if I've mentioned this already, after doing so, after many emails, after generating and sending them many packets and NOT getting a resolution, I don't see a reason to piss myself off, get even more fed up, irritate, agitate and frustrate myself anymore then I already have been and am!!!
Again. Thanks for your reply and suggestion CraigB. And when I find out if doing it doesn't and or won't put my entire browser or anything else at risk, just so one website (for the time being I'm only trying to get and worried about getting one website working properly, and when I do I'll worry about other one as they're not as bad as this one), then I'll try your suggestion and see if it works. I can't risk having something worse happen and have to try and either ask for help with or on something else or go to and ask Avast for help with something else when I can't even seem to get them to give me a resolution to what I feel is a minor problem. I mean, isn't letting or getting a website or anything else for that matter, through a firewall or webshields a minor problem?
I apologize for the short story or as some might prefer to call it, a rant. But this, as I've said, has been going on for about a year now and I'm quite irritated, agitated, frustrated and pissed! So much so that I'm only going to deal with this and try and get it fixed for another week. I mean, I like Avast and for some strange reason I want to continue using it. But if after a week I can't get this resolved, I'll have to ask for a FULL REFUND. And if after a few days, likely 72 hours after direct contact and asking for a FULL REFUND, I don't get a reply or feel I'm getting yanked around, I'll simply get the FULL REFUND a different way.
