ive got a decent adsl, 1.1mbps and it should open up most web pages in a blink of an eye. but when i have avast on-access protection ( home edition) running, sites will take up 2 minutes to load then i only get a 'page cannot be displayed' message. refresh, another 2 minute wait, then another 'page cannot be displayed'. it isnt until i refresh a second time that a page will open but i still have to wait for it too load.
This happens for all pages, all the time and it is very annoying. i solved the problem by turning off avast. when it is turned off the internet is normal and pages open up fast and fine.
I dont want to have my anti-virus turned off though!
im running a windows XP, avast min requirements are met and 1.1mbps adsl. could anyone suggest a solution or at least tell me what is wrong?
