we have machines running winxp x64. archaic, but there are still 20+ million users. the latest update of avast antivirus is:
definitions: 151026-2
program: 10.4.2233
after this update avast av is now:
–blocking common safe websites, google, yahoo, etc. with certificate errors
–blocking file download from my safe ftp sites
i had to disable webshield entirely to get access again. what happened to this release?
thanks.
That’s a very good question.
Disable HTTPS-Scanning in the web shield.
it helped with the websites however ftp was still blocked until i disabled webshield completely.

Strange as ftp shouldn’t be being scanned (it certainly wasn’t in the past) only http/https web traffic.
What avast version are you using, free/pro/AIS/Premium ?
Have or can you create a screenshot of this blocking instance ?
