I have the same situation as mentioned here in the post, after the version was updated automatically to 5.1.889. When I disable the avast program the connection works again. When the connection is not working some pages(very few) in firefox may get some content, but they still work very badly if at all. In internet explorer I did not get any pages open.
If I turn just the web shield of, then browser works again. I tried to put in setting on port 80 in redirect settings, but that did not help either.
OS is Windows 7 and the firewall in it is active.
I have also Comodo installed on this pc.
How can you fix this?
Added info:
On the other pc I have no issues. Otherwise setup is similar, but that pc has XP on it.
I also noted that the pages that are downloaded are https pages, so regular http ones does not get downloaded. Would this be in any help for solving this issue?
