Avast keeps private internet access from working

PIA (Private Internet Access) is a VPN that provides a Chrome Extension adds security measures to the browser. Avast appears to completely block it. Disabeling Avast Web Shield allows PIA to run. But is that a good idea? I would assume not.

  • Which Avast…? (Free/Pro/IS/Premier)
  • Which version…?
  • OS…? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP/Build…?)
  • Other security related software installed…?
  • Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?

Since PIA isn’t free, I am not willing to test it.
No problem installing it, it just doesn’t work without a payment.
