Hi,
I'm moderately computer savvy, but nothing to write home about. I'm using Win XP, IE 8, cable modem, linksys wireless G router (open, not secure). I downloaded Avast last night and I've had major connection problems ever since. I've finally gotten some sporadic access, but not sure if that was anything I did or if I just tried opening IE enough times.
I've rebooted modem, router, disabled and re-enabled network connections. I now have avast On-Access scanner turned off, and I'm not sure if that's what's allowing me sporadic access. Some web pages I can't open at all, some it takes me 4 or 5 tries before they load. When they fail, I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".
Any help would be appreciated! Suggestions for settings I might need to adjust, etc...
Thank you!
