I disabled it and the broken websites started working again.Īfter looking at everything it looks like avast had updated and in the process had enabled a new vpn component by default. In the latest round of testing, Avast earned six points in each category, for a perfect 18 points. Paso 1 Vaya al sitio web oficial de Avast. Lo and behold, there was a vpn component that was activated. I explore avast's options which had changed since I had installed avast. I thought to myself, hey I have avast but I never turned that on, I didn't even know avast offered a vpn product. I found something where someone said turn off the vpn feature in avast. It didn't happen a lot, but it did happen.Īfter a few months I restored defaults then uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and still had the problem so I started to investigate. I thought I had just broke a setting in Firefox somewhere. With Avast One Essential, you don’t pay a penny, and you get substantially more than bare-bones antivirus, with plenty of added tools for privacy and security. Randomly in Firefox, some websites just would fail to load saying that there was a problem with that website's certificate. This also happened to me with avast a few years ago.

You may be able to create a copy of these sounds somewhere, modify them, and configure the sound events accordingly, I guess. The sounds are on the harddrive - in avast installation folder, but you can't change them there. A quick search brings up this question and answer: Re: Change the volume or replace sound for warnings. Well, there seems to be some connections to (IP 64.233.166.109). The main spook seems to be about Google servers. If you stop that shield the connections are gone. Okay, for everyone lazy I did some scanning with CurrPorts and some googling (using DuckDuckGo and not Google) and here's the results:Īvast opens some ports from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 (that means locally) for it's mail shield.
