Vast Swathes of the Internet are missing.

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

If I disable avast shields I can get to the AutoIt forum, otherwise I can’t. The same for practically all the ‘Is it down links’.

Anyone else experiencing problems?

I’m having the same issue with all my own websites. I believe it’s broken. I wonder why it isn’t effecting the Avast forum.

Could the next forum member that comes in here please try to access at least one of those links and report back. Thank you!

In the mean time I’ll simply have to use knoppix. Surfing without any AV is not my idea of fun.

Links are working for me, do you have the AOS ( Browser protection ) active? if so try disabling or removing it via the change function option when you click to uninstall avast.

Where do I find out? Do you have it disabled? I had no problems earlier this evening.

I’m going to try a couple of things. I’ve been having plenty of problems with Avast false positives lately and I’m losing a lot of time and sleep and right now. Thanks for reporting back.

The green AOS icon would be shown at the top of your browser if installed ( it is installed by default ) it’s also shown in add-ons.

No I don’t use it so it’s uninstalled from my system.

I don’t see it, but I’m using the free version of Avast. I seem to have fixed things for now at least. After deleting cookies, clearing the cache and rebooting; everything is back. I’ll have to investigate deeper tomorrow and run some thorough scans. This PC needs a new OS soon anyway. I have lots of backups. Thanks for assisting. It was something on my end.

No problem, glad you fixed it :slight_smile:
