v11.2.2262/160516-2 blocks all web, need to deactivate Web Shield
I've been struggling with what I thought was a failing network card. It turns out that if Web Shield is on, I don't get any web pages, but I do when it's off. Turning off Web Shield makes Avast goes unresponsive, which then affects all other functionality. After a couple minutes, a timeout seems to kick in and then Avast is working again.
I turned of all Main Settings in Web Shield but that didn't help. I toggled a few options and then got connectivity again, reset the options and lost the connectivity. I attempted to duplicate the settings to find the one toggle that's causing this (PUP check, https check, etc). It seems to be a combination of settings that I haven't nailed down yet.
What can I do to help find and fix this critical issue? I don't have too much time to spend randomly changing settings and waiting for an unresponsive app, I need to get work done too...
Thanks.
