Hi all,
Hoping to get some advice about this issue.
I have 2 desktops, both using Avast free. One of the desktops suddenly started to have a strange problem. Whenever I reboot, I can browse to any site for a couple weeks, with no problem.
Then suddenly, whenever I try to get out to any website, after a delay I get the message "having trouble finding that site, can't connect to the server", even if it's just to google.
Then I turn off WebShield, and it works, for a while, until it doesn't. Then turn Webshield off and it works again.
Running Win7, Avast 21.2.2455, build 21.2.6096.705 (can't go any higher unless I get some Windows patches).
It seems to have started after I uninstalled the Avast browser from the Programs and Features, as described here:
https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=327035.msg1716989#msg1716989Uninstalling the browser fixed the problem described in that thread, but I wonder if there's some connection to this new problem?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
