avast blocking sites and exclusions not working

I've only been using the Free version for a week, with a view to possibly upgrading to the Pro version but I have to say that my confidence in Bitdefender is failing by the minute. With protection on, Bitdefender says that the site is not secure and doesn't even acknowledge that it has a certificate. If I turn protection off, I can access the sites.įor example, on, if protection is off, I can view the website's certificate which is issued by DigiCert SHA2 Extended Validation Server CA. Several https sites are blocked, including, Morrisons supermarket,, all giving this message:Īn error occurred during a connection to SSL received an alert record with an unknown alert description. Windows 10, 32-bit machine, Antivirus Free Edition 1.0.11.5, last update a few minutes ago ( 15:20:47). I thought this crap was resolved last month. I am just trying to get simple bus routes in Dublin Ireland. This is not only frustrating but completely unacceptable. So now I am here and probably one step away from giving up on BD altogether.

I posted to the following thread but there seems to be little attention: Yesterday and again this morning I was blocked from two Ireland legitimate sites while vacation planning. The worst part of all this is needing to TURN OFF BD to access legit sites and then forgetting to turn it back on.Īfter participating in this thread at the beginning of Nov, I thought the issues had been resolved.
