You could try repairing or reinstalling. Don't have any other ideas at the moment.

I seem to have a similar problem. 

All my shields are working except for the Web Shield.  I am running Vista 32 Bit, the latest Avast updates and Internet Explorer 8.  IE is incredibly slow and stops responding. 

I think the two problems are related but haven't found a way to fix it.  I've already spend many frustrating hours trying to resolve this.  What am I missing?  I should also mention that Mozilla Firefox works just fine!

I just discovered that if I uncheck the "Enable Protected Mode" in the "Securities" tab in the "Internet Properties" in the "Control Panel".... It speeds up IE8 a lot!  It is dangerous to do that though, and it doesn't fix the Web Shield issue I have.

I really don't know what else to do to fix this. If no other more experienced user will give you an idea I don't think leaving it off would be a good idea since it's an important shield of avast so you could go back to 5.0.677 until a new build is released. I know that's not fixing.
