Problem uploading files in web browser

Finally, after more than 6 months :cry: , I discover that my problems uploading files from browser to wordpress site and also on another php site are caused by avast. If I disable avast, uploading work ok, but with avast active the uploading start, upload some kb and then stop. After some minutes of timeout wordpress give me a http error. I usually use palemoon as my default browser. But I have same errors also with firefox. I have avast free (always updated) on win7x64.
Same help on this or someone that have same problems?

Thank you

  • Which version of Avast Freeā€¦?
  • Other security related software installedā€¦?
  • Which AV(s) did you use before Avastā€¦?

Always latest, now 18.2.2328

- Other security related software installed..?
No
- Which AV(s) did you use before Avast..?
Always use avast, at last last 10 years ;D

Unfortunately, thereā€™s no additional support (Email/Phone) for Avast Free.
But you can submit a bug report in ā€œAbout Avastā€.

this might be a problem I have been having to all week trying to upload to my wordpress ( have my own woedpress on own site ) it was very slow and hangs never thought it be avast I just uninstalled the old install and have a new install from avast site turned off avast and tried uploading small and large files and it it went through fast but turned avast back on and it is hanging again I will put my website in avast web shield list and see if that helps I have Windows 10 and 64 bit

This may be the same issue I discovered with ā€œlargeā€ projects in App Inventor that did not receive any attention from Avast. I have turned the Avast Web Shield off until someone stumbles on the bug and fixes it.

Larger projects fail to upload with Avast Web Shield active.

Yes, if I disable web shield all works ok. So I will hold it offā€¦
