I just re-installed avast 4.8, and now gmail can't be read and also the web-version of my work-emailaccess does not work? I am running Vista og my relatively new Dell Studio..

Hope anyone can help.

Which is your firewall?
Isn't there any other antivirus present in this computer (OEM)?

Hmm, finding out I am a novice at this, thought I knew more about computers...

Story short:

I removed McAffee after the trialperiod and installed Avast. Then avast asked for a new registration key, which I found online. After installing the new key, I lost functions such as using gmail, facebook and other web-services also didn't work after this...

Ok, so I took a chance, removed avast and installed it again... No solution to my problem.

My firewall reportedly is "windows firewall", and its turned on...

I don't know what more to tell, have never experienced a thing like this before. In general, I have not been too impressed with Vista, although I don't know if Vista is to blame for this Maybe I missed a step somewhere??

Thank you for your time :-)

Sometimes, McAfee won't be completely removed if, before, you do not uninstall Avast, including the use of its "Uninstall Application" if necessary (www.avast.com/eng/faq-install-uninstall-avast.html).

Wonderful 

I removed leftover McAfee files (did not know I had any), and now the functionality of the webpages are back to normal.

Thank you for the great advice, it was very helpful.
