I am using avast! Free Antivirus version 8.0.1483 on Windows 8. With all shields active I cannot access popular sites such yahoo.com, google.com, weather.com, etc but I can access gmail.com, facebook.com and so forth. As soon as I temporarily turn all shields off I can access all sites as expected. Any suggestions or ideas? I am a long-time Avast user and I do not wish to switch to another program.
this is quite strange issue. Would you mind to turn on all the “Reported Items” in “Expert Settings > Report file” of the Web and Networks shiled. Then try to reproduce this scenario. If you are successful send me your WebShield.txt and NetworkShield.txt from c:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\report\ , please.
thank you
