web shield makes internet connection reset

[ashnnn]

Just upgraded avast free to v.6.0.1367 and with web shield on the internet connection resets
every time you try to load a page. With it off it works fine.
using win7 (64) and Online Armour firewall with it's web shield off.

Hi,

   We need more info about the issue. What you exactly meant by "internet connection resets".
   Dose that mean, you are unable to visit websites when the avast! Web-Shiled is enabled?

When surfing if i active web shield it immediately throws up a connection reset page in the browser each time i refresh or start a new page"

I've tried to disable a combination of options for web shield but this does not help.

what happens if you turn off firewall ?

Hi,

   Try this..
  
   avast! GUI -> Real-Time Shileds -> Web-Shileds -> Main Settings -> Uncheck Web Scanning and  Check Scan traffic from well know browzer  processes only.

   Please update us with results.

Maybe I misundertood your suggestion to the OP, but that seems almost like disabling the web shield.
