Well I thought it might be, because both of my computers where doing the same thing And I haven't installed any new programs only Avast5.
But while weighting for a response I was checking the firewall and found that I also had the windows firewall running also. So I guess in the last update from ms it might have activated it. So what you think?  possible?

Thanks Tom

I had a similar problem to this

I just changed the Network Settings to NoProxy

Maybe you should try defining your Network

Actually, most programs use the Internet Explorer internet settings to connect to the Internet
