Exactly what avast free version are you using, the latest is 6.0.1289 (your signature doesn't say) ?
When did this start to happen ?

What errors are you getting when logging in to yahoo messenger ?

If having disabled the web shield and it doesn't work, there is something else in the mix.

OK, whilst I don't have a Yahoo Messenger account (don't use any messenger service), I can enter the uk.messenger.yahoo.com site, no problem. So I don't know which URL you would use in the Philippines (and I can try to access it) ?

I'm also able to access my.yahoo.com page for mat BT Yahoo home page.

Or is it the login location and function you can't access ?

I occasionally get that in firefox, even on the avast forums and using the Try Again button works for me. Have you tried that button ?

I also have no problem connecting to ph.philippines.yahoo.com, image1.

I see from your image you are able to access Yahoo finance and health, but are having a problem with autos.yahoo.com (with that massive redirect URL from Yahoo.com. So I'm really unsure of what is going on with your system.

If it were malware it would normally be the whole yahoo.com domain being blocked rather than Yahoo messenger.

I'm at a loss as you have tried disabling the web shield and even with the web shield, I can access all of those areas.

If you have 6.0.1289 (and you still haven't confirmed that [you should include that in your signature]), then you can try the checking the avastUI, Real-Time Shields, Web Shield, Expert Settings, 'Scan traffic from well-known browser processes only.' Though I'm not to hopefully given you have tried disabling the web shield.

See if it works, though I'm not too confident as I believe this is outside of aast.
