I recently installed AVAST and I noticed that it was blocking out sites and it also stopped Windows Defender from Working properly, Windows Defender just says "This app has been turned off and isn't monitoring your Computer".
What settings should I run in AVAST so that I get good real time protection without any issues
I have the Free Version BTW and i also use Malwarebytes free for scans every once in a while.
There doesn't seem to be any issues with Windows Firewall though

Thanks

Defender is the Windows antivirus/security program.

Run ONE antivirus program ,if you try to run two at the same time weird things happen.
Have Avast active, disable/turn off Defender.
I have used Avast Free for years without issue.

What settings should I enable/Disable in AVAST So that It doesn't block out Internet pages, What settinga should I change in AVAST To get the most out of it.
I don't have real time scanning in Malwarebytes so should I disable that as well.
Windows defender was disabled because I enabled AVAST.
Should I enable PUP's scanning in AVAST Or use Malwarebytes for that. AVAST Came with a Chrome Extension, I deleted it because it was conflicting with other extensions, Should I reenable it
