Avast Free behavior: ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED
« on: May 27, 2012, 03:06:57 PM »
After 20-30 minutes of web use,  I get error:  Error 106 (net::ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED): The Internet connection has been lost.   No connectivity of any type then.

... cycling Avast firewall solves problem for 10-30 minutes (not perfectly consistent.)

If I leave Avast firewall off, problem is non-existent.

Very problematic because I'm doing online courses for college.  But this problem is not only happening on courseware.  Standard browsing as well.

Windows 7 Home Premium, fully patched.  Chrome web browser, lastest patched version.

Thanks for all input

On top of what Pondus has asked - avast free does not have a firewall, do you mean the windows firewall ?
