Avast automatically knocks the connection to the website out. That is why you didn’t get the buttons and stuff. You need to disable the script shield (and refresh the Outlook page) to get Outlook to work again. I ran into the same issue.
You might want to re-enable the script shield after you are done with Outlook.
How could they release a version of Avast that conflicts with Outlook.com (previously hotmail/live.com), arguably one of the most widely used free email providers.
That’s rather embarrassing/sloppy if you ask me.
What about the “streaming updates” that should give avast the edge over the competition and react in a very fast way to such issues?
Don’t get me wrong, but just wondering… Maybe only during normal working hours? :-\
I’m having the same issue too. But Hotmail is working perfectly on my iPhone.
Is there an actual threat posed by Hotmail right now, or is this likely a false positive?
