Hi I can confirm what Jimb11 is saying ..
I Have The Same Problem! Although! - Funny Enough...
Yesterday .. The problem was really bad ( Every 5 minutes )
Today .. It Hasn't Happened - Yet!
Fingers crossed!Perhaps the problem has gone away
As... Today is the first day I haven't had the problem.
Anyway!I still thought I'd better mention it... Just in case it does start again
Until I've just noticed this thread...
I wasn't sure if it was Avast causing this problem or .. Avast
+ PC Tools Firewall Plus
= Problem
As Jimb11 is only using the Windows Firewall ... This means the problem has to be from Avast
Also!
I have PC Tools Firewall Plus on another computer with AVG 8 .. And don't have this odd little problem.
It's not really a problem .. Just a little annoying!
Just Like Jimb11 Said...This is wierd but when I lose the blue Vista internet indicator I still can surf the internet with no problem. I guess I"ll just use a different av instead of avast.
Same For Me!When the Little Blue Globe disappears from the Two Little Computers - Taskbar Icon...
I Can Still Surf The Web In Fact!
I've noticed that I can get the Little Blue Globe back again -
By...1/ Clicking The - Back Button
2/ Clicking The - Forward Button
3/ Opening A - New tab
4/ Clicking - Home
I haven't played around with Avast's settings .. & .. I Don't Intend To
Like I Said..
It's not really a problem .. Just ever so slightly annoying
And Unbelievably... It Hasn't Happened Today!
Just Remembered!I rebooted my Router this morning.
I wonder if that's why the problem seems to have gone.
My LaptopVista Home Premium - SP1 (32bit)
ADSL Broadband
Wireless Router - PPPoE
Thanks! PS.Been using Avast for 2 weeks now ...
Love It!
