Hello,
Since I installed Vista SP1 I experience connection problems with IE or Firefox.
In fact I still have an active connection both on my box and on some applications like Live Messenger which are still connected...
However web browsers seem blocked, unable to refresh pages.
If I shutdown Firefox, the process still appears in the running processes and I cannot kill it (though I'm Administror). How is that possible?
The only solution I had was a reboot which I sometimes had to perform brutally with the shutdown button as Windows wouldn't shut with the Menu.
While reading some other forums (in particular this one-in French-
http://www.geckozone.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=63916) a workaround was found
-either by stopping Avast "web shield" service
-either by suspending the whole Avast protection and reactivating it.
Sometimes the first solution worls, sometimes only the second...and sometimes neither of them !
Any idea what could be the problem ?
I have sent you (rypacek (at) asw.cz) the <avast>\data\log\ashwebsv.log log file.
My config
*Avast 4.8.1169 (latest version compatible with SP1)
*ZoneAlarm Pro 7.1.254.000
*MotherBoard Nvidia nForce 430 with latest driver
Thanks for your help
