Hello avast community. Well, i am comming here today because i recently installed avast 5 and webshield seems to block IE8/firefox from loading webpages. For realtime protection I am using windows 7 firewall control and iobit secuirty 360 alongside avast 5 free edition. I previously had AVG and i completely removed the program with the avg uninstaller. I am using a Toshiba satellite L455 on a updated windows 7 64 bit operationg system. I believe my system is very clean and maleware free. I have scanned with clamWin, malwarebytes, and superantispyware. From researching this problem i understand that this issue may be connected to my firewall. However, i allowed all connections for avast antivirus, avast service, avast update, aswregsvr.exe, and aswregsvr64.exe with no success. I am not sure if the following information will help out or not but i also have steam installed. The steam program connects and updates normally but when i try to login it can't login and connect my account to the steam servers. Maybe the two problems are connected? I don't know what else to say, ever other program besides those two connect just fine. Can anyone please help me fix this webshield issue? Thanks!
