Avast is among the most popular antivirus programs on the market. It safeguards users from threats, and helps them navigate the internet in a safe way. It also provides a wide variety of security features like blocking malware, unsafe downloads and spam mail. It also prevents hackers from gaining access to a user’s device or taking personal files. The company offers a range of subscription options depending on the preferences and requirements of the user. Avast can misinterpret some websites or applications and block them. A pop-up message could appear to inform the user that “avast blocks websites” or similar. In these situations it is recommended to temporarily disable Avast protection. Here are some easy methods to accomplish that.
Method 1: Repair the Installation Program
In the majority of instances, the issue occurs due to a corrupted install file. To fix the issue, first run a complete system scan. After the diagnostic has been completed then the user needs to go to avast’s website and select the ‘Settings’ tab. There, the user will have to locate the option “Exceptions” and then click on it. The user will then have to enter the URL of the website that Avast is blocking. After entering the information, they will need to click on “Add Exception” and then save it.
During this process, the user needs to make sure that they have backups of all their data. This way, they can restore all of their important files when the issue has been resolved. It is crucial to remember that these methods are not the same as removing your antivirus completely. In case one of the above methods do not work, the user should contact Avast support immediately.
