It seems that Web Shield "Enable HTTPS scanning" keeps blocking websocket connection for camonline.ixara.com. As soon as I'm trying to load in a document wss://ec2linuxstaging.ixara.com/socket.io/?EIO=2&transport=websocket connection is timedout. Only after a couple of retries it connects. Why does that happen? Could I change that behaviour?

This doesn't happen with Web Shield or "Enable HTTPS scanning" off of course.

The only similar issue with Avast! I've found is the following one:

Do you have any information as to when this is going to be fixed?

I guess this explains why I'm having issues connecting to the web or loading webpages.

I scanned my computer with 3 anti-virus softwares and no virus or malwares were found. I noted the threads about people complaining Avast blocking the internet and I used the suggested solution to add the program to the allowed list in Windows Firewall. My internet connection came back but some content on most websites are not loading. I noticed that my internet connection is fully working only when I disable Avast (File Shield and Web Shield). This issue happens with all browsers I tried (Fire fox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer).

Windows 7 64bit, Firefox 40.0.2
