Howdy all, I downloaded Avast 5, installed it an all went perfect. Program was working fine till I restarted my router due to a short power outage in my neighborhood. Both IE 8 & Firefox stopped accessing the internet when the web shield is active in avast 5. I've tried adding manually Avast 5 in the exception list of the ms firewall to see if that helped including all the .EXE files inside the subfolders in the hard drive where avast is located with no success. I even turned off the firewall as well and still nothing. I tried reinstalling Avast to find a fix but still continues. My router, reguardless of being restarted doesn't lose it's configurations and I don't have it's built in Firewall enabled either. I even tried connecting dirrectly from the cable modem, ditching the router temporarily, still nada... I remember when i was using version 4.8 it happened due to a glitch on one of the patches, (updates) and a fix several hours on the servers was created to address that problem. Any ideas what is going on???
