Avast toolbar causes problems with Internet Explorer

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I started using the free version of Avast about a month ago and began to have problems with Internet Explorer. Some websites would not open in Internet Explorer and while in some websites, I could not enter data, etc. After trying everything I could think of, I reset Internet Explorer and began reloading the toolbars one by one. Everything worked fine until I enabled the Avast toolbar when my problems came back. After disabling the toolbars everything works fine. Has anyone else had this problem. I am using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 10. The Avast toolbar also slowed the internet down a lot.

You can either disable the “avast online security” in your browser or uninstall the “browser protection” module.
To uninstall…Control Panel>Uninstall a Program>double click “avast”>click “change”>untick “browser protection”>reboot

The AOS has very little to do with security and can be safely disabled or uninstalled. The web shield will handle the protection. :slight_smile:

You could also install the latest beta 9.0.2015 which has fixed many issues with AOS, the beta is functioning well here :slight_smile:
