i only found an instruction for how to do it for the windows version on avast's website, but i think it should look fairly similar on mac as well: https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB189

hi, first please make sure that the date, time & timezone are set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a solution depends on the individual circumstances:

  • what is the error code shown when you click on advanced on that error page?
  • please also give us more information about the error by clicking on the error code, copying the text to the clipboard and then pasting it here into a reply in the forum like shown in the screenshot.

thank you!

thanks, it looks like your avast software is meddling with secure connections - it's best to disable the scanning of secure connections in its webshield preferences...
