A few days ago, I downloaded avast antivirus, and since than I can no longer view streams or use my webcam without using programs to go around it, like manycam.
I tried uninstalling avast but that didn't seem to help and redownloaded flash player thinking that may be a problem for some reason, but still nothing.
Anybody got any idea how to fix this?

Could it be your firewall settings at all?

Can you access your webcam when you go on 'My Computer'.
Possibly try and re-install the drivers.

It could be one of these 2 things, if it's not, then I don't know how else to help you...

1. You're firewall settings could be set to a high level which is blocking your webcam

2. Avast Antivirus could've possibly been a disguised hacker program that prevents your webcam from launching

but I wouldn't know much about Avast since I've never used it...
