I saw in another thread a mod saying it was a pity people weren't creating their own threads, so here goes :) Well, as many others are seeing, I installed the newest avast home, and all of a sudden i am having problems w/ various sites (there are a couple, but http://slashdot.org is the one that's bugging me most at the moment). I have ZA pro 5.5.062.011. I use Firefox 1.0, but the same problems occur in IE. I first went in to try the privacy settings in ZA, then realized I already had them off, so I bumped them up to medium (and then high) but got the exact same problems. I also tried the localhost proxy for firefox, but it still doesn't work. If I turn off (and not just pause) web shield, all of a sudden the page comes through, but i still notice something "funny".. There are no articles listed on the main page... but i just tried connecting via my ibook and the same thing is happening, so I'm guessing the problem is on their end.
I know you guys are working on it so this isn't a complaint, just thought i'd give my stats, see if I can help you guys fix the problem. Starting this evening (well, maybe tomorrow) my computer will be down for a couple days (on top of a reformat, I've gotten a new heat sink, and I'm cutting up my case, so I got some decent work coming up for me :) I'll keep up w/ whats going on on my ibook, but if you need any other info from me on my PC, i'll need to do it soon.

I just wanted to add, slashdot is working just fine on my ibook now. also on my PC w/ the web shield off..

Well, slashdot loaded just fine, quickly even, considering I'm on dial-up. Firefox, Outpost with web shield on.
