Lately not able to login to free Wi-fi sites
« on: February 19, 2018, 06:39:42 AM »
I have been able to log into my local library & other sites with my android tablet & laptop but just this last week not able to.  I have the free version of Avast, Version 18.1.2326,  virus definitions 180218-10. Could it be stopping me in some way? I do not have a lot of data so the library etc is very handy.

Easy test, disable Avast and try again.

Right click the Avast tray icon, you find the option there.

I am not able to do the same for my tablet. I only have the Avast app & there is a drop down on the top left that says Avast is running & also shows anything else that downloads etc. My tablet is an Android.

OK, you're welcome. That's the link to the Android forum section (in case you need it).

Forgot to say it was only my laptop that connected to the library wi-fi, still no luck with my tablet. Tried at local shopping centre & at McDonalds today.  It says connected but not able to do anything. Cannot get a browser page to open for either so can connect.
