Once again, as with every Update in the last year, Avast has broken my internet connectivity. I am forced to disable all shields in order to connect to the internet. This time, however, multiple restarts isn't working. If there is a fix for this, that would be great. I have restarted and shut down my PC several times to no avail. Shutting down individual shields does not fix the issue, only disabling all shields allows me to access the internet. Even Avast itself is unable to connect to the internet due to its own broken blocking. Ironic.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I've found the culprit at last. Deactivating Avast Firewall will allow me internet access once again. Here's hoping good 'ol Windows Firewall will be enough. -_- Why am I paying for Avast again?
