How to Stop Avast From Blocking Websites

Avast, a security measure designed to protect data computer services and systems from most types of cyberattacks, uses a set of components to scan many parts of the system. One of the members, Internet Shield, is designed to monitor the websites displayed and stop avast notifications.

Avast periodically blocks original websites. To bypass Avast and go to a secured website, you need to disable Web Protection or add the website to the exceptions list. Some websites can be dangerous, so the computer system and information are at risk when a component is corrupted.
