Web Shield on XP not scanning.

[DavidR]

Do you have another browser and does it work with that ?

Do use a web accelerator or does your ISP require you to use a proxy ?

[loltestlol]

i tried internet explorer and it shows no scans, on and settings are high :'(

Do use a web accelerator or does your ISP require you to use a proxy ?

Also, do you use any annonimizer application?

[loltestlol]

my isp is southwestern bell dsl. i dont know if they use proxys. i dont use web accelerators, and does peer guardian count as anonymizer? it just blocks ips.

does peer guardian count as anonymizer?

No, it's not a proxy application.

Sorry, the thread is too long to get into right now. Can you update avast and just the WebShield is the problem right now or, on contrary, all Internet actions of avast are blocked?

Can you check: your connection settings and your proxy settings? (Internet Explorer > Tools  > Options > Connection).

it can update. web shield is the only one. well network shield has no scans. but it does have alerts saying its successfully updated.

[Lisandro]

it can update.

Good.

web shield is the only one.

So, something in your configuration is messed with WebShield. Can you post a screenshot of your proxy settings (Internet Explorer > Tools > Options > Connection > Proxy).
Also, set your LAN to automatic there.

well network shield has no scans.

No problems. If your Windows is updated and you have a firewall, this will stay on zero.
