Unable to access certain sites

Question

Hello, I'm not sure I'm posting this message in the right place, I apologize..

So I've been unable to access the Adecco site for some time now; I believe, though I'm not certain, that this started after I installed the paid version of Avast. This site is blocked on my PC and also on my phone (only when connected to Wi-Fi)

I've looked through the antivirus, the browser, etc., but I haven't found a solution as I'm not very good with computers ;) so thank you!

The error message is roughly: "This site is inaccessible", "Check your connection", "Check the proxy and firewall."

Hello,

Did you buy an Avast license?

Avast blocks access to certain sites even if they are secure because it performs an HTTPS scan

Try this:
Open Avast
Go to → Components
Web Shield →- Customize
Uncheck the box → Allow HTTPS scanning

Or
add the exception for the file/site in Avast

Check the proxy settings in your browsers here

Do you have any other protection or security software
- like Malwarebytes or others
- any extensions (one from Avast for example) in your browser

You can also repair or reset Chrome
Repair with Chrome Cleanup Tool
Run Adwcleaner
Run Malwarebytes

See you later!

By any chance, does the Adecco site work with another browser?

Internet Explorer, Firefox, ?

Edge if you are on Windows 10?

Have you updated the definitions and the program of Avast?

What is your version of Windows (10, 8, 7)?

Talk to you later

What does it give with another browser?

We can reset the connection with the command prompt

Do you have a fixed IP or DNS?

Your provider?
There have been issues with FREE lately

Have you tried contacting the site to see if the issue is on their end?

If you have kept the Avast license, you should try uninstalling it to make sure it’s not the issue.

Or you can still back it up, export it, the function is in the Avast settings, I believe.

Avast can be uninstalled using its utility → avastclear

Otherwise, try to log in with a new password on the Adecco site in your account or
on the login screen (forgot password)
