This has been driving me mad since I resintalled Avast.
Certain web page links result in a 503 service unavailable error which I was initially blaming my connection/ISP for.
I noticed that in most cases the link works fine in Firefox so reinstalled Chrome which didnt help.
I have now noticed that if I ‘disable all shields’ in Avast the pages load fine.
I get this on any pages it seems that do some sort of redirect.
for example I cant download anything from Sourceforge.
eg http://sourceforge.net/projects/ps3mediaserver/files/latest/download
with “shields off” i get redirected to the download with them “on” its a 503 error
another example is I cant log into my wordpress site using www.mydomain.com/wp-admin like I usually do. Just gives 503 service unavailable in chrome
How can I fix this there seems much less settings available in this latest Avast than older versions?
Avast Free version 2014.9.0.2006
