Webshield blocking all traffic after updating to 7.0.37202

Avast Mac Security

Visiting any website just hangs after updating to 7.0.37202. This applies to Chrome and Safari. I am able to browse if I disable the Webshield.

Please advise.

BTW: The captchas don’t display for Chrome on my system. Can’t tell if it’s a Chrome or site problem.

Please take a look in a log file /var/log/system/log, if there are any relevant error messages.

Thanks,

I re-enabled the web filter and it is now functioning properly. In fact performance has improved.

The most likely reason that I can attribute this to is that in the interim I cleared all Chrome browsing data. I’m not sure that that accounts for the fact that Safari is now working properly whereas it was not previously.

I’ll keep you posted if I have any further problems.

Captchas on your site still don’t work with Chrome.
