I have Avast Free installed.
To access overseas sites [BBC, etc] from Australia through unblock-us, I have to:
1. close BBC Iplayer
2. close unblock-us
3. right-click AVAST shortcut on toolbar
4. left-click Avast shields control
5. left-click Disable until computer is restarted
6. in Avast pop-up click yes
7. re-open unblock-us
8. re-open BBC Iplayer
9. Then all is aok
Unblock-us emailed to say:
Can you try to do this instead, open the Anti Virus UI, and select 'Settings'. Next select - Active Protection. Here you will see the various Active Protection features, and where Secure DNS is located. When turning this off, you will be presented with a few options, select 'Disable Permanently'.
Hope this helps so you won't have to disable Avast every time you start up the PC.
Signed unblock-us.
Apparently Avast free version does not have Active Protection - can someone suggest how I may turn off Secure DNS on my PC?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
