Internet connection problems after installation of Avast 4 Professional Edition

I have been using Avast 4 Professional for the free trial period without any problems. I have now taken out a subscription and installed the permanent version according to instructions. When I tried to access the Net via Mozilla Firefox, I got no response at all: it simply wouldn’t open. When I used Internet Explorer, I got access to some sites, but not to my email. When I opened Internet Explorer, a box appeared saying ‘Avast Professional Script Blocker’. When I closed the connection, another box appeared saying there had been an error and the connection would close. In the case of my email, this box appeared before I could access my messages.

I have tried going into the Avast menu and clicking on ‘Suspend service’, then on ‘Script blockage’. I still cannot use Mozilla Firefox. With Internet Explorer I do now have access to emails, but when I close the connection to emails or to other sites, I still get the error box, so things are not yet right even there. Also I suspect that the suspension of script blockage may have removed the very protection I have paid for. Can you please advise me what to do?

I am using Avast Pro 4.8 and am experiencing the very same problem. What’s the answer to this? ???

turn off the splash screen for the script blocker

fixed it with mine

cheers

Sorry, but the splash screen is cosmetic the underlying provider would still be running, so I don’t see how that could fix anything.

Splash screen might be cosmetic but switching it off fixes my problem 100%
Maybe a timing related issue ?
