Avast is blocking my Yahoo mail
« on: February 05, 2016, 07:44:10 PM »
I use Yahoo mail for some personal emails. I have been using Yahoo mail and Avast since 2001. Now I am getting blocked emails. When I shut down Avast for any amount of time, Usually I disable for 10 minutes, then my emails come in just like they always have. I need this fixed. I have been using these two programs for years and need my emails to come in properly.

This happens on all my computers. I have 4 computers. The same scenario as above. Cleaning out cookies, resetting my browser does not work. I use Chrome. It's funny that Internet Explorer does not have this problem only with Chrome that I have seen so far.

I have to have my mail working normal. I can't be disabling my Avast every time I use my mail.

Everything is working fine for me.

What OS/SP ?
What exact version of avast ?
What version of Chrome ?
Any other security (related) software installed ? (or was there)
What plugins/add-ons in Chrome ?

I'm having the same problem.  Started 2 days ago.  My emails for sbcglobal.net will not load unless I turn off avast.  Everything is up to date with avast.  Help please

I'm on Windows 10, running the latest version of Avast and as you can see, there isn't any problem with Yahoo email:

gardendeb1,

no you don't have the same problem.
Yours is with sbcglobal, not with Yahoo mail.
As I asked you before, start your own thread and provide details.
