Avast keeps blocking me from loading pictures to my website or via email

This really sounds like your pics are too big for uploading to your website or to email via Yahoo Mail, so the website (or Yahoo Mail) times you you out & doesn’t attach them. I’ve experienced this ages ago with my first few pic upload/email attempts. Then I realized my pics were waaaaay too big!! Check out the artfire.com forum and ask their size limitations as most websites have to limit the size you can upload. Just roll your mouse over your pics on your pc to see their size in kb and dimensions.

Good morning, the picture I was trying to upload was necklace number 57 going to artfire.com, is it only 1.57 MBs which is the general size of all the other pictures I have loaded to that site. I also have previously sent necklace pictures via email, which i had to do one at a time, because of the size-they were 1.57 mbs, 1.57 mbs, 1.56 mbs, 1.57 mbs and 1.55 mbs. This is a new problem that just started earlier in the week. That is why I was thinking it had something to do with avast.

Thanks, Shelly

Then pic size doesn’t appear to be the problem. I’m afraid I’ve exhausted my thoughts on your issue. You’ll have to rely on the Avast experts at this point. I’m no Avast expert. But the fact that it’s a recent change in your ability to manipulate pics would indicate it is related to some recent change in your system software, that’s for sure.

Cool! I have two. Wonderful little dogs. :slight_smile: FYI, I just tested sending pics in IE8 and the recipient got them just fine.

I just had another thought. When Java gets corrupted sometimes buttons on web pages don’t work properly for me. I wonder if your Java install could have gotten corrupted somehow? Might be worth downloading a clean copy of the latest version, uninstalling your old Java version and installing a new one and see if that solves anything. Won’t take long and sure worth a try. I have had that resolve problems with website buttons not doing anything when I click them.

If that fails to help, then if I were in your shoes, I would consider using just one version of IE on your network or or maybe both switching to Firefox, which I think is a much safer browser, personally :).
