I’m sure there are lots of posts on this known problem but here’s one more. I paid for Avast and get a program that won’t allow me to watch videos. If I exclude Youtube.com* it has not effect. I have to permanently disable web protection. Wonderful. Avast, I’d like a fix or a refund!
How do you know it’s avast that is doing the blocking?
Could you provide a screenshot?
Are you using something like Ghostery?
I use Firefox and Chrome and have had no problems watching videos.
What OS/SP?
What exact version of avast and vps?
Any other anti-malware application(s) installed?
If so which one(s)?
If you had one(s) installed, how did you remove them?
Opera, IE, Chrome, FireFox, Maxthon, Thor and no problem at all with watching video’s on YouTube with webshield enabled.
