Hey all,

I am having an issue with Avast! 6 saying every website is a threat. Anyone else here? I can see quite a few people are having this trouble too on twitter.

Regards,
Cody

Everyone is getting it now due to the new website protection they just put in... If you need to visit a site without the popup just enter gaming mode or enter websites in

Real time shields > Web Shield > Expert Settings > Exclusions > URLs to exclude

Turn it off until they fix it. Install the free Microsoft Antivirus until then.

To be honest i'd just say to remove Avast entirely and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials.
