AVAST 6 prevents Firefox and Chrome from running.

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Avast 6 prevents Firefox and Chrome from running. Both browsers just sit there and time out. As soon as I uninstall avast 6 and then reboot everything is fine.

Any solutions to this?

What is your Operating System ?

What is your firewall ?
Does it allow avastSvc.exe internet access ?

  • If it does delete the entry for it and reconnect to the internet, this should force the firewall to ask permission again.
