on several different sites. Windows 8, Firefox or Google Chrome, Avast Free, Adobe Flash 12,0,0,70. Started Firefox in Safe mode and videos played. Restarted Firefox and they did not…Went in and disabled Avast and the videos would play. Any suggestions?
Try disabling or uninstalling the Avast Online Security extension.
It’s called Browser Protection under control panel → programs and features → avast → uninstall/change → change
Thank You, problem solved…
You’re welcome. Hopefully, there will be a fix in the near future.
Probably should have asked last night…what exactly happens after disabling/uninstalling Browser protection? Does it make the browser vulnerable?
No - you’re still protected. The “Avast Online Security” (or Browser protection) is primarily concerned with tracking cookies, web page reputation, safe price, etc. Some people consider them nice features to have while surfing the web but certainly not indispensable.
As long as you have the main “Web Shield” active and up-to-date you are good to go.
Thanks…
