Antivirus software denies actions and downloading

[botticelli]

Hi,

 

I'm using Avast antivirus for 10 years+ now. About three weeks ago it started to deny any actions in the forum threads (Submit, etc.) as well as downloading any files. Disabling jads.co access didn't help either. I now need to disable the whole antivirus to be able to post anything here. Any suggestions other than switching the antivirus software?

Get Rid of it.
These free Antivirus Softwares are all completely useless and tend to be dangerous in their own right by giving the User a false sense of security.
Your built in Microsoft Defender is a far more Capable and reliable tool against malware. People just tend to underestimate it because it doesn't constantly give you false positives.
