Hello,
I have windows 7 ultimate and avast 5.0.396.
I have not had this problem with xp sp3 or vista ultimate, all 3 systems are 32bit
With win 7 when i use hostman or manually insert a large hosts file avast tells me that the mail and web shields are turned off.
Trying all means to start them fails but when i move back to the original hosts file its all working properly.
I have only just got Win 7 installed when i went to the avast homepage and found out that avast 5 was finally out, i have no idea if ths happens with avast 4.8.
I have the latest programme and definitions
Also i am using the free version
Any ideas?
Thanks
