Avast is Blocking Gmail access on both Firefox & Avast SafeZone

[REDACTED]

It's been more than 3 weeks I'm experiencing problems to use my Gmail beyond the login - Inbox using either Firefox or Avast SafeZone, in both my Lenovo ThinkPad/Windows 7 Professional and my Acer Aspire One, for it keeps sayin' "Oops... the system encountered a problem... retrying (ERROR #007) - Retrying... and never gets to work, whereas it only does in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer in my Lenovo Desktop and in my Android Smartphone. After different attempts to fix the problem, I've discovered  that Avast is Blocking Gmail access, for it works when Avast is disabled for 10 mins. Please fix this bug or send help. Thanx.

I have just logged in to my gmail account without issue on this XP Pro system and the latest firefox and the avast beta build 17.2.2287.

I also happen to have an acer aspire one and have just logged in to gmail with firefox but with avast 12.3.2280, without issue. Notable it triggered a new logon and sought confirmation (email to my phone) as I hadn't previous used this system to connect to my gmail account.

Have a good night too :-)

Hi,

Well same problem with Seven SP3 with last free avast released.

What i noticed is the problem remain when i answer to a message in the mail box.

It's hard to send a message and impossible a lot of time to record the message.

But if i create a new message, it's ok to record the message and no problem to send it to one or several people.

So don't know what's wrong really.

Any help should be fine by Pro avast TK.

If someone have this problem and now solved, no problem i'm interested too :-)

If it is working with XP but not later Windows versions, it could be the behavior shield that is causing the problem as that shield is not present/working on XP.

Hi,

I never noticed this problem with the previous version of avast free.

I mean, maybe some internet problem but no error messsage from gmail or avast.

So now, how to solve it?

I saw on several website that some people disable something https control or something like this.

But uncheck this for one site is not good for the other?

Something is not good inside avast program?

I don't know really, but it's very strange  too.

So is there other people hint by the random problem on 7, 8, 8.1 or W10?

And if someone found a solution, let us now :-)

Or if Avast Tk can give tips to solve it no problem ^^

Thanks,

Have a good day too

Hi,

Well still remain the problem....

Not on IE in Seven or 8.1

But i did a test and it was a chance, i uncheck " signature on avast in mail "

As soon as i did it, no problem for save mail, no problem to quit gmail, no problem to send it...

Is there people who have this problem to check what i did, and also Avast Tk to see if the problem come from part of avast?

Any help should be great ^^

Thanks,

Gerald.

Not knowing which version (v8, v9, v10, etc.) of avast it's rather difficult to pinpoint the problem.
Try a repair...Control Panel>Programs and Features>double click "avast">click "repair">reboot.

Hi,

It's Avast Free v17.2.2287 the last released  working on my hp mini with seven starter 32 and on my i7 asus w8.164bit.

Hi,

It's Avast Free v17.2.2287 the last released  working on my hp mini with seven starter 32 and on my i7 asus w8.164bit.

Have you tried the repair function advised by Para-Noid ?
Please do that, reboot and post back with your results. Thanks

Hi,

Well just before repair i did again test:

On IE nothing happen all is good that what i wrote in a previous message, so does IE communicate to a better way with avast that Firefox?

Still before repair i unchecked " enable avast email signature" and all is good and working fine on firebox???

So can we say that Avast and firefox( last released 51) have communication protocol???

After " repair "

Well on IE all is good works fine.

On Firefox It depend of which name of Email, i mean, hotmail, yahoo, aol....

But if i uncheck once again " enable avast email signature" all is good on firefox with all type of Email.

So what can we say?

Bug program with " enable avast email signature" option  or bug of firefox latest released 51.0.1???

Gerald

[Para-Noid]

It sounds like a bug in Firefox.
If you view email in a browser the web shield should protect you.
May I suggest you file a bug report with Firefox.

Hi,

Well, how about the fact of if i uncheck " enable avast email signature" all is good on firefox with all type of Email.

Can we say bug on firefox and also with this option on Avast?

It's hard to find something on firefox support, i search for gmail problem and no show similar problem.

For me, there's something wrong with the option on avast...
