I have noticed that all of a sudden for no reason at all, avast firewall (internet security) will just stop the traffic from Digitalworldz to me.

It does not always happen, I can be on for hours and all is well then all of a sudden the front end of DW will stop working, then I click the disable avast for 10 minutes and it works...

I have no idea why this would be the case or why avast would block websites that it is currently not blocking.

And the weirdest part is after the ten minutes is up and avast is running again, it does not block the site?

I also had this with a mod site that I frequent, and it does the same thing...

I even wrote an email to the owners lol saying there site is down but it was fecking avast being silly?

Anyone else, notice anything like this with avast firewall (internet security)???

not just avast mate

a few antivirus programs are now having this incorporated in there software

blocking quite a few sites deemed iffy lol

did read about this will see if i can dig it out seems the way its heading

just noticed you say not all time would think avast just having a blip
 
It does not block Dw, it just all of a sudden blocks Dw but then after disabling for 10 minutes it starts to work again
 
I've noticed occasional timeouts / dropouts in the last couple of weeks, but I just logged in again, thinking it was a forum glitch.

I use AVG anti virus only, and Zone Alarm firewall only, with Win 7, so that may just complicate the issue.
