Safari not accessing website servers

I had Catalina using Safari failing to access websites and after quite some time closed the Intego Anti Virus (turned off its checking system) and had an immediate return to website normal.

Strongly suggest removing the Antivirus Software as per Developers Instructions. It is not required as macOS is secure enough plus these software are useless and cause major issues with the OS as one has already discovered as per original posting. They can even corrupt the OS making it malfunction. The require a total Erase and Reinstallation necessary.
