Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

As above, something was blocking all HTTP and HTTPS except for google on all browsers, turned off avast it was avast, turned avast back on and web shield off - it is the web shield. Is there a log somewhere for blocked sites from web shield? and how does it block the TCP? how does it block by connection? firewall changes on the fly? or kills connections somehow?
