Avast Web Shield is blocking Imgur?
« on: November 27, 2015, 10:17:13 PM »
When I disable the web shield I'm able to use imgur but if its enabled it blocks the website. I've tried adding it to the whitelist but it still remains blocked until I disable the web shield.

I know there was some Imgur issue in the past I just don't get why its still blocking it; for me anyway.

What OS/SP ?
What exact version of avast ?
Any other security (related) software installed ? (or was there)
What is the message that avast shows when you try to visit the website ?

What version number of avast and which type of avast (Free,Pro, AIS, Premier)
What other security software do you have now or ever had?
If uninstalled how was it removed?

Have you tried a repair...Control Panel>uninstall a program>double click "avast">click "repair">reboot.

Windows 10 Home
151127-0
Malwarebytes Pro

The error is

"Unable to access the network

ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED"


When I disable the Avast Web Shield I'm able to access it. Malwarebytes isn't blocking it otherwise it would say.

I'll try the repair now.

Thank you.

151127-0 is not a avast version but a vps version.

@ PirateCoffee
Given the error you are getting, I suspect that a Repair may not resolve this.

Have you got an imgur URL that you tried accessing that failed and some of us here can check if we can access it ?

You could also try enabling the web shield again but uncheck the HTTPS scanning in the web shield settings and see if that makes a difference.
