Avast is blocking access some sites/forum
« on: May 08, 2022, 07:38:11 PM »
Hello,

I've had avast problem for a while, the program did not opened itself for while, i couldn't fix it. It has blocked or slowed down access to some places for several days. Then I deleted the program and reinstalled it. Everything was fine and I continued to use it comfortably.

Today, I started to be unable to enter my free forum, which I opened during the day, the threat stopped the login by saying that it was blocked. Then I saw that it was doing the same thing on other site I was using.

Never had a problem with this before, it was always granting access to these sites, the web shield now blocks it. If I turn off the shield, I can re-enter, but this time my security is compromised.

How do I solve this problem? I was thinking of upgrading the version, but if it will cause me such problems, it will not work for me as it is. It's strange beacuse avast free never gave me any problems like this before.

A screenshot of the Avast Alert/s with the more details options would help us to help you.

Having had no problems before doesn't mean a site won't/can't be compromised in the future, which is why we need more information to be able to check.

Well your browser Chrome is connecting to the site (URL) in the first part of the Alert.

So are you intentionally trying to connect to that URL ?
It also seems strange if as you say this is your forum connecting to subdomain pl17214***.safestgatetocontent.com  ?

In the More Details section of the alert, the above URL is trying to run that .js javascript file.

Further to my last post I did some checks on the domain name safestgatetocontent.com

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.
