Avast web shield

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I updated avast yesterday, and since then, it is blocking websites. I had to disable the web shield to actually get on this forum. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how do I fix it?
Thanks

If you would have done a little (re)search, you would have known that many people have that problem.

Perform a repair of avast, reboot and see if the problem is solved.
If not, perform a clean installation of the latest version.

Every site I went to blocked me so I couldn’t find any info on this subject. I will try what you suggested and HOPE it works. I currently have the web shield off, should I turn it back on to do the repair or leave as it is?

Thank you
