Cannot Access Some Websites

[dugger]

Recently, my VPN service would not load, and my system scan feature would lock up at 1%.  The repair features would not work, so I decided to uninstall and re-install.  This repaired both issues.

Now, I am unable to open many websites.  I have unsuccessfully tried to access these pages through 2 different internet connections to make sure my router was not at fault with the new re-install.

I have received 3 different page load error screens, so far.  This occurs for approximately 20% of websites I am visiting.  NOTE:  Prior to the re-install, all of these pages were reachable.

Also, when I disable WEB SHIELD, there are no issues.  All pages load, as before re-install.

I am using the Edge browser.

THANK YOU

So, do I just uninstall Avast and get another program to protect my computer?
