Before was fine, but now.....

[REDACTED]

So I got a strange message on my web browser on a site I use to frequent.

First
O/S - Windows 7 and 8.1
Firewall - Comodo
Avast - Latest version 11.1.2241
Browsers - Firefox 42.0 and Internet Explorer 11

I tried the website on both browsers and on my Windows 8.1 system.  I get this "The connection was reset".  The site I go to is station drivers.  This was never a problem before.  So I tried turning off the firewall, clearing out the DNS, making sure proxy was not somehow set, clearing Firefox and I.E. cache, etc.  What worked was when I turned off "Web Shield".  Then once I found that I entered an exception.  But the problem is that the web pages have different names where I am researching and so entering all of them in as an exception is too lengthy of a process.

I have had Avast for more than a year and I was able to visit the site and has never been a problem before.  Is there a new setting I that I may have missed in this new version?

Thanks

does it work if you turn off https scan?

Thanks for the response Pondus.  I unchecked the setting and still the same result.

Update:  Still no word?  Tried other aintivirus software and no issue.  So some setting (or update to defs) is not correct in Avast.  Any help here would be great....
