Avast 2015.10.0.2208 crashing IE7 on Win 7 on eBay every few web pages.

On another PC I went back to a earlier version because of continuous popups about certificates when using https.
The PC had it’s date set to a future date for software testing.

There was no way of turning off the popups in Avast.

Why you need to check for certificate expiry in Avast when it is already in the browser is beyond me.
It’s a useless and annoying feature that just slows down the browser.

On Win 7, IE 11 is available and has many security improvements.

Setting the system time to the future will cause invalidation of security certificates, as it might be past the expiry date.
