Firefox setting network.http.keep-alive.timeout is the default setting as with my other pc. I have not touched that.
I spoke wrong earlier that it's not a particular ip...cause i think that could be the problem. Though it's probably many ip's (ones that avast considers harmful).
I went to Facebook, closed firefox , and everything closed in ashwebsv.exe except one instance of 127.0.0.1 which is normal cause I have it running.
Now, as far as Ebay and certain other sites (I don't remember the ones from the past several days). I'm thinking for some reason ashwebsv.exe gets stuck on a particular ip for example the 2 shown earlier:
209.62.180.191 (Double Click) and 66.235.132.145 (stat.esomniture.com)
....and when I close out firefox, ashwebsv.exe will sit on the IP it considers trouble and won't close. Unless I terminate the webshield and start it again.
