2x bugs, Program Settings and Web Shield

[Vlk]

Wait a moment guys, do you mean like persistently even across machine reboots?

I.e. it doesn't work at all, UNTIL you ONCE open it from the program itself; and then, it starts working OK no matter if you restart the machine?

While you probably don't need anymore "me toos" ... I won't let that stop me.

A brand new Dell crossed my threshold today ... so I have been busy removing all the stuff they load it up with.

Then I installed avast 4.7 for the first time on the new machine.  Everything worked fine in avast except that right clicking on the avast icon and selecting "Settings" (you guessed it) ... did nothing - over and over again.  Rebooted ... still the same problem. Then I opened the "Start Avast Antivirus" window ... and after that I could open the "Settings" just fine.

Problem has not come back after a reboot.

Still working after numerous reboots.

Excellent, thanks guys. Now I see where the problem is. An easy fix.

Vlk, what about Web Shield errors in logs? They don't appear ok to me.
At least not in such large scale.

Depends if it's reproducible or not. I mean, do they happen every time, or just intermittently?
Maybe always, on some websites? Or rather chaotically?

Check the first page of this thread for logs that i attached. It's without any real pattern.
But from what i see it happens to all forums and also large number of PHP sites.
