Just recently switched all my personal computers to Avast. I switched from AVG. I have Win 7 & IE9 at home and my Laptop has Vista & IE9. I purchased Avast Pro for home and have free on laptop. I’ve been haveing the WebRep issue on both computers. Random closures of IE on both machines. One thing I did notice that was noteworthy - the tab that jams is always - if I’m not mistaken - the tab that isn’t active.
I knew you could disable webRep but uninstall? Uninstall Avast and custom reinstall - deselect webrep??
To uninstall webrep go to Programs and features or remove programs and double click avast, when you get the popup click on change and untick webrep -browser protection ( simple :))
after few hour i realize .aswWebRepIE.dll just fine with chrome,opera…only IE…wonder Y…?if silverlight can be use with it full function with other browser it mean BYE_2 IE. >:(
I realize this is over a year old, BUT apparently the problem still isn’t fixed…or it became a NEW (though identical) problem with Internet Explorer 11.
I just finally upgraded my computer last week from Windows XP and IE8 to Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11, and that’s when it started. I NEVER had a single problem caused by Webrep in IE 8, but now the only way I can find to keep IE 11 from crashing is by disabling the Webrep. Here is just one (of dozens) of error reports of Webrep causing IE 11 to crash:

Avast was fully updated after the clean-install of Windows 7, and I also need to mention that this problem does NOT exist in FireFox, Google Chrome or Opera Browsers. Of course Microsoft keeps referring me back to Avast for answers, even though I have a feeling that this might be a problem with Internet Explorer (all versions above IE8). Can we maybe get them to admit it after what…4 years now? Or has anyone found a “fix” for this by now? (Preferably a “fix” OTHER THAN using only FireFox, Google Chrome or Opera or disabling or uninstalling the Avast Webrep…which does eliminate the problem but is not really a good solution since Webrep is actually a nice, helpful feature when it’s not crashing the browser.)
