Ok, I'm getting a bit frustrated... Really hoping someone can help. Avast is somehow blocking access to certain websites. I ave the free version, and I don't have the browser app installed, so I don't even understand how it has the permissions to do it. I don't have an "Avast blocked this" notification or anything like that. I just get an "ERR_CONNECTION_RESET" page when I try to load things. It took me several days to figure out it was Avast, but sure enough, disabling the antivirus fixes the issue. And I'm not talking about scary websites. It has blocked pages like the contractor website for the guys remodeling my basement, my online banking login page, and tonight it blocked the bloody IRS. Not even joking, Avast blocked the irs.gov website... I have had to repeatedly disable my antivirus. Some of them seem to resolve on their own (my online banking came back after a few days), but others do not (2 weeks later I still can't access my contactor's website without disabling Avast). I can't find any pattern or connection, I can't find any setting to stop Avast from policing my websites, and I'm really not sure what to do... Help?
