Hello,
I just installed Avast for Mac free. After install I was unable to access any websites. I read in another thread avast will block non legitimate sites. However It is blocking any site I try to go to. I know I’m not the only person to encounter this issue. On the cnet.com website where I downloaded avast from on the reviews there other people were running in to the same situation. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Are you usign any kind of firewall software such as little snitch?
No I am not using any kind of firewall software. However I am on my work network right now and not at home. Could that be a reason. I use my mac mostly at school and work as that’s where I spend most of my time. I have’t had any issues going to websites prior to installing avast no matter what kind of network I was on. Thanks again for responding to my post. I have used avast for years on pc so I know it’s a good product and would love to get this fixed so I can have it on my mac t.
I had downloaded this from cnet.com. I unistalled it and then downloaded it from the avast website and it seems to be working fine now. However I am at home now and not at school or work so I won’t know if the problems will continue until tomorrow but I will update this post for sure to see it downloading from avast site fixed it all or not.
Keep us informed
So after downloading avast from this website I had the same problem right after install. I restarted my computer and I haven’t had any problems since then. It’s been working great with no issues. Only thing is that I have my work email on my mac mail and the ssl isn’t in the the avast system so I get an ssl connection message every few minutes. But other than that it’s running smooth
Check the stick thread:

There are lots of workarounds for the SSL error in that thread
The same thing happened to me, but restart didn’t help me. 
Well i paid for http://www.avast.com/en-eu/internet-security and because my internet wasn’t working fine I had to uninstall it.
