Reformatted my computer very recently. I had avast before the reformat, and got it again. But now I can no longer get to livejournal. On my work computer, I have no problem.
Now, after some web searching I found that the most likely problem is the web shield on avast. it was advised to go in and change 'scan all files' to 'scan files of specific type only'.
Now, I've done so, with the files ADE,ADP,BAS,INF,INS,MDB,MSI,JS,EXE,ZIP,RAR,ASP,ASPX,COM,BAT,PIF,VB,WS,VBE,VBS specified.
But livejournal still wouldn't work.
So I closed firefox, restarted my computer and tried again.
It still didn't work
I checked the settings on avast and they had *Reverted*.
So, how do I get the setting to stay?
my best guess is the problem is the
"2. and files of the following MIME-type" section but I have no idea what to put in there.
I'm especially confused since I had avast for a couple months BEFORE this and never had any trouble with accessing livejournal
