Browsers won't load pages Created 14 years ago2010-10-26 15:38:54 UTC by Striker

What I'm going to describe next already happened to me in the past, but after a pc restart it worked fine. Now it just won't work anymore!
I can't access web pages at all, and it all started not working just...suddenly, with no apparent reason\action.

After some time I figured it might be a conflict between Comodo Firewall and Avast antivirus. And after some trial and error I discovered what's the problem: the avast Web Shield.
I had no other option than to leave it disabled so I can browse(every other internet services are working fine).

The problem is that I can't find a good answer on the internet about how to resolve this, all I could do was to just "add as trusted application" every service related to avast, and it still doesn't work.
It's odd this happened all of a sudden... probably an update?

Can somebody help me please? Thank you.

If you're seeking protection on the internet, this is what I can advise: Disable avast web shield and instead install the Noscript add-on, I believe the same one works for all browsers, just Google it. I'm using Noscript for firefox and it helps a lot, it blocks every single script on any page you visit, and allows you to enable them or leave them on thereafter, so when you run into a virus pop-up of some sort, it is automatically blocked like everything else unless you enable the virus script.
It is also helpful for individually disabling things like annoying adds or any other scrips on pages you visit.

It will solve your problem since you will still have protection and wont have the avast problem.

I know it will, but I'm actually willing to resolve this conflict rather than installing additional software :). Thanks for the tip though.

[EDIT] I should also mention that I've been using this combination (comodo+avast) for 2 years and never had any problems :\.
[EDI2] Any help guys?
