Avast preventing me from going to websites in Chrome browser
« on: December 31, 2018, 05:55:52 PM »
I've been using Avast for a few years and recently purchased the Avast cleanup addition. Since then I'm unable to go to certain websites when using Chrome. I get a  :( face and can't get to the requested site. any suggestions?

First what version of avast are you using? (You can find the version at avast/menu/settings/update)

What product are you using?

Does this happens at every website?

Are you sure it is avast's fault?

Please answer this questions if you answer them maybe I will be able to help you

Yours sincerely,

Not exactly. If it's not related or not part of the discussion, it really isn't of any use.

A screenshot and an unclickable web address to one of these unreachable sites would certainly be helpful.
