Reboot two or three times and see if it solves the problem.
If not,  perform a repair of avast and check again.
If still not solved, perform a clean installation of the latest avast version.

okay went to uninstall and repair option popped up so I did that...see how that goes but think I would be more comfortable uninstalling and reinstalling

might be better after doing repair...but still feeling I should do a uninstall and clean install what do you think?

See if the repair has solved it not.
If not, you can always do a clean installation and/or try other things.

oops see note above....doing repair might have helped...not enough time to tell but two websites I had an issue with now seem okay knock on wood, still think I should do a clean  new install? (feels tainted lol)
