Yes, I have the windows firewall.
But when I tried de-activating the firewall there was no difference... avast web-protection still stopped all html content getting to the browser.

Try ticking the scan traffic from well known browser processes only in the web shield expert settings.

The LOL is on you, if you check his signature again, IE8 is the latest version for Windows XP

They have got to be pretty smart to get one by you.

Just to make sure I am understood on this so as to not cause any misunderstanding.

That statement two lines up is a compliment.

Hello, did anyone test this on Windows 8 Developer Preview (Build 8102)?

No luck. I tried different combinations of the main tab of web-protection but the only thing that worked was switching off Web protection with the red square button.

Is this version the newest version of Avast Free?  Ever since I updated to this version, when I come back to my computer after leaving it in sleep mode, I get a reboot screen and the message that Windows encountered an unexpected shutdown.  Running Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron 1440.

[DavidR]

Yes it is the latest version. I suggest you do a clean reinstall, see instructions here http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=84558.msg687478#msg687478.

Hi All!

Time to time I get message you can see in the attachment. It has started after the Avast upgraded to 6.0.1289.
In the error.log following messages are present:

 -> topLevelExceptionFilter addr=7c812aeb code=e06d7363
Thu Sep 15 14:23:44 2011
 -> Calling generateExceptionReport

 -> Returning EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH.

What can I do to avoid it? It's so annoying =)

just installed avast on Windows 8 Developer preview.

None of the Shields will start and the summary page says "The avast! antivirus program has been stopped, or is in an inconsistent state. Please re-start the program to resume protecting your system."

When I try to register for a free license it fails and I get the error "The AAVM subsystem detected a RPC error"

I'm not worried about this at all since its not even a beta product of Windows 8. Just reporting my findings for you guys' information.

Avast needs to change boot time scan and work in Safe Mode.Few month ago my Windows OS corrupted so i couldn't start in Normal Mode, i tried to start the computer in Safe Mode but the Avast blocked the Safe Mode and i reformatted my C drive and i lost my some files.

[igor]

The boot-time scan is not started in safe mode (i.e. it doesn't "block" safe mode).

[crt]

But when Avast installed, my computer sometimes works in Safe Mode  and sometimes can't work in Safe Mode so i uninstalled the Avast for my safety.

Something is weird in your system. Any other security program or antivirus that could be interfering?

[crt]

And it's difficult to delete viruses one by one in boot time scan.Is there any possibility to delete all detected viruses after ending boot time scan?

The automatic option was removed from previous versions to avoid false positives being moved at boot time.
You still can choose the action for all detected infections at boot time.
I'll say that, before running it, if you can, run a full scan within Windows.
