Can't connect to legit sites

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Since last update I can’t connect to legit sites. With web-shield off it is possible to work some work, but not to sign in to avast forum!! You ask me how could I post this message? I’ve used another fully unprotected Xubuntu comp.
Avast: 2015.10.2.2215 OS: Windows XP SP3 Browser: PaleMoon

I’m using Avast free for 4+ years, Windows firewall is disabled, Avast firewall is off. The issue showed up after reinstalling Avast yesterday. I’ve noticed that after disabling/enabling web-shield thrice connections work OK

  1. Download Avast Free Antivirus: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe
  2. Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions…!!)
  3. Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
  4. Reboot.
