I have a problem with webshield. Every time i start the computer, the webshield doesn't work. the blue icon becomes white, says 0 protection running. if I click on the webshield option, the terminate button is highlighted, but actually the web scanner doesn't work at all. If i stop the on-access protection and restart it again, the blue icon will come back and webshield will work again. Another way to work around is to terminate the webshield and start it. After reenable the webshield, the system works fine.
When I install avast(the latest version), I only choose webshield module, all the others including standard protection are unchecked. I have antivir 7, jetico, MJ regwatcher, SSM running with avast webshiled in the win xp pro sp2. This setting worked great and no problems at all when i tried it several times before. But when i reinstalled avast yesterday, the webshield problem came up. I also uninstalled/installed avast for several times. the problem is still there.
I found two error events in the event viewer.
