    When I go on the forums avast never allows me to. I always have to disable some setting to go here. Do any of you guys know why is that?
    in the other forums it was not like that..

    That's what I do, when I got my computer fixed they put on Avast...
    I think it's basically the only way.
    Just don't click fishy links or do downloads while you have your shields off for the forums, and hope for the best.

    I have the free version of avast and I have to disable all shields.
    There is an exclusions list that you can put the forums on, but not sure if thats still an option...

    It's that you have to disable the web shield when going to this website. (on avast)

    You're not the only one with troubles connecting to Forums.
    Many, many others get blocked, and I don't understand why.
    Never had any issues with the site being blocked :s

    The issue is you're using Avast.

    Its only avast.
    There is avast free which is what most people are looking for... one that doesnt have a 60 day trial period.
    i guess its popular

    yeah...I've never had any good experiences with paid antivirus software.
    The best one I've used is the free AVG one tbh :D

    What kind of companies are there in america? o_O
    The only good experiences are from paid anti-virus programs over here.

    Like Norton and Avast...we've used those before but they never did any good and they would randomly pop up different windows or music players LOL.
    Idk...maybe it was just our computer that was weird. But the free one works wonderfully xD

    Ikr. I just got super annoyed and stopped using paid anti-virus altogether. It's so weird.
