Hi laksrool, tried a repair but no change....i didnt expect much as if you remember, this is a fresh install. so once again, problem is resolved, if as an avast user, im happy to forgo https scanning. now, personally i always use firefox and always in sandboxie, so, web shield may not be the biggest loss to my security if sandboxie is doing its job, but again, what is the point of a browser protection system that only allows a user to browse if the protection is turned off....bad coding, does anyone in avast read these posts.....or test their software before release? not complaining, but am looking for an alternative, its just getting too big, awkward and doesnt do what it says on the tin, unless you switch protection off?
? thanks again for input, very much appreciated.
