With the Avast! Online security add-on, I repeatedly get error pop-ups “Network Error” with Yahoo mail. Many mails won’t even open…! I tried it with IE11 and other browsers. So the only way I can read my mail is to disable this add-on. Can Avast fix this?!

  • Which avast!..?? (Free/Pro/IS/Premier)
  • Which version…??
  • OS…?? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP…?)

Cheapest paid version, pro I assume, Windows 7 32-bit with latest updates.

Which version…?? (Like 9.x.xxxx)

I can confirm an intermittent NETWORK ERROR when trying to open some (but not all) YAHOO MAIL messages, when AOS add-on is enabled in IE 11.
In my case, avast 2014 build 2018, free, on Win7x64 Pro SP1.
(I have not had any problem with the AOL add-on in FF.)

I previously reported my findings here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=149104.msg1084538#msg1084538

version 2014.9.0.2018, virusdefinitions up-to-date

My problems are exactly the same as ky331 describes in his post.

For now, either disable AOS or use FF.
