I have to disable Avast to get it to load fully. This has only happened in the last few days.
I also have to disable Avast to log into my Netgear router web configuration.
When I have Webshield running the pages load but the Front page never finishes the forum page is fine. With Webshield disabled both pages load perfect and faster.
Seems to be a loopback between the WebShield proxy, firewall, browser…
Maybe if you search for the word ‘loopback’ in the forums you can find more… If I’m not wrong, I remember to have read something about it.
Sorry, I don’t know the solution right now…
