(I have also posted this on Avast's forum, but have never had much luck with responses from it)Īvast! antivirus 7.0 contains the following real-time shields:įile system shield - checks any programs at the moment they are started and other files at the moment they are opened or closed. Why does Avast block my computer's access to the EULA? Which shield is doing it, and how do I tell it not to block this and in fact all public wi-fi connections? The instant I did, the EULA appeared, I clicked OK and had Internet access. First thing I tried was to disable Avast's shields. I immediately concluded that something on my computer was blocking the "EULA". The owner told me that as soon as you connect, you're supposed to see a "Terms & Conditions" statement (a mini EULA) that you have to agree to before you can have Internet access. I had the same problem, but two people at the bar had smart phones and both had Internet access. The 2nd time I tried it, the owner was there. Nobody was available who knew anything about the system. I asked one of the waiters to reboot the router, which he did, but it made no difference. The first time I took my Toshiba laptop there, it said it was connected, but had "No Internet access". I frequent a restaurant less than a mile from my house that has public wi-fi.
