Hi there,
I've been having a bit of a problem connecting to the internet since last night. I upgrated to version 4 of Avast home version about 5 or so days ago. I use AOL Broadband as my ISP. I'm on Windows XP Home and my firewall is Outpost (I've never had any problems with this).
When I try to connect to AOL, it reaches the last connection step "Checking Password", and as it gives me the okay, I get thrown off my connection straight away, and a message from Avast Network Sheild pops up saying something like...
"Network Sheild Blocked DCOMExploit 172.214.108.82.135/tcp"
I know that my IP number begins with 172, is Avast somehow blocking me from connecting?
Can anyone help me with this problem? It's kinda annoying not being able to get online when I need to! I'm not that great with computers, so any help would really be appreciated!
Thank you
Mandy
