Hi CrazyMonkey
Maybe you didn't notice but I was back shortly after to say...
Just so the original poster knows...
It looks like I spoke to soon about the Use Intelligent Stream Scanning Sorry!
When I logged out of this forum I noticed the webpage didn't load. So I tried a few others and they didn't load either.
I've now had to go back to turning Enable HTTPS Scanning - OFF
So the problem is definitely with XP or Vista and the Enable HTTPS Scanning.
And this only started after the last Avast Program Update.
Sorry If I Caused Confusion!
I have no Idea why my internet seemed fine for a short while with Use Intelligent Stream Scanning OFF.
Perhaps the effects of turning Enable HTTPS Scanning back on again just hadn't kicked in.
But by the time I'd come back here, typed a post, sighed back out... My internet was impossible again!
I realise now that the Use Intelligent Stream Scanning problem is a completely different issue entirely. It affects only the people with really fast broadband like 100 Mbps and above. And is to do with their download speeds. I'm just on normal fibre broadband 40 Mbps.
So Just To Be Clear...
I'm using Vista
And I've got the websites never finishing to load problem.
Hopefully just a temporary solution until Avast updates us, I'm keeping... Enable HTTPS Scanning - OFF ( Unticked )
This really does solve the internet / browsing problem.
