I have the exact same problem as the users listed above. Having web shields enabled in Avast blocks most web streams and large image files.
System details:
Win 8 x64 - standard with no goofy software installed.
Before you parrot all the ‘experts’ above:
No other security software installed. Problem occurs in ALL browsers (Chrome, FF, IE) regardless of extensions. ALL are up to date to the latest version. No, there is no problem with my browsers being compromised. Weekly scans with malwarebytes, adblock (and noscript on FF) always running, and no I don’t visit sites that would be delivering malware.
BROWSERS CLEANED, PURGED AND RE-INSTALLED
AVAST RE-INSTALLED x3
Both my girlfriend and I are coming up on our yearly PAID FOR avast subscription. Unless I can see a fix for this it’s back to Norton instead. The only solution so far is to entirely disable Web Shields. No point in paying for security software if it won’t let me browse the internet as usual. >:(
