Same problem: Avast is blocking hotmail scripts and disabling hotmail function. I’ve gotten it repeatedly over the last hour for both Chrome and MS Internet Explorer browsers (latest editions). I’m using the Avast Pro Antivirus which just updated itself the other day.

I’m getting messages like these:
