no net access after avast install

after I installed avast i lost net access, avast updated,but explorer,e-mail and all would not talk to net
please help

thank you

Sounds like your firewall is blocking access for ashWebSv.exe Web Shield and ashMaiSv.exe avast email scanner.

What is your firewall ?

the firewall makes no difference on or off still no net access until I turn avast off :slight_smile:

all internet or just web browser?

Can you ping?
Can you get email?

looks like you said all - just wanted to double check

only thing I see that works is avast update
nothing else will work unless I turn avast off

But what is the firewall, we can potentially offer specific information.

Can you be more detailed, as in what are the exact error messages you get with trying to get email, etc.

What is your OS ?
