Web access blocked for most pages
« on: November 19, 2015, 04:16:51 PM »
I just switched from AVG after they started to sell personal data. I use Chrome and can access AOL for e mail but not other websites.

I tried turning off Web Protection and could access other sites, but turned it on to be protected.

I tried entering my banks address in URL's to exclude which didn't work so how do I access other sites?

No, I used Windows Uninstall (following the instructions in ComputerActive magazine).

Does that make a difference?

There may be leftover files that conflict

Try it and report back

After uninstalling AVG...
Make sure you have the latest avast version installed.

Pondus,
this sounds like the https scanning problem in 2015. ;)
