Hope this helps (even if it meant putting up with reading how miserable I've been the whole day!). I don't know if this will resolve the intermittent browser disconnect, but I'll try and keep you posted. I deactivated the web components in question and connected to my site straight away. This reminded me that the main difference between the machine which would display the site and the two which wouldn't was the link scanner in AVG and the Avast Web Shield were active on the PCs which wouldn't show the site and disabled on the one that would. I checked all my network and firewall settings - they were fine.įinally, after more searching of the internet, I found a forum where the concensus appeared to be that the problem was probably related to security software, AVG was mentioned. I then attempted to connect from a third (also XP) machine on my network, this time, I was also unable to connect. By this time I knew the site was definitely still online because I received an email from someone via the website. I tried resetting winsock etc, uninstalled Vista service pack 1 and ZoneAlarm but still couldn't connect to the site from my Vista machine. I tried to access the site from another machine (runnning XP) and, hey-presto, it worked with no problem at all. Even rebooting didn't work - whichever browser I used simply told me it could not connect to the site - I knew this was unlikely as everything on the server was intact. Today I nearly pulled my remaining hair out as none of my browsers would access my own website - particularly helpful as it's just gone live. Antivirus apps have in the case of mine Avast a webshield that is scanning websites for malicious pages or injected malware.
Another feature of the issue was that I couldn't even kill the browser process from the Task Manager: the only effective cure being a reboot. As for security applications, almost all have some bearing on internet or network access, as for Spybot, its HOSTS additions and its blocking of additions to the Registry can cause problems at times. I even switched from AVG to Avast following the re-install but still replicated the problem. I scoured the internet for solutions and tried just about everything, including a clean re-install. I've had some major problems, similar to what you describe - everything connected to the internet bar my browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari and Chrome).
Behaviour shield is for rootkits and other malware so I am installing it.
DOES AVAST WEBSHIELD WORK WITH VISTA PC
It costs 69.99 per year for 1 PC and 89.99 per year for 10 devices.
First step: Go to Avast official site and purchase the license. So everything will be ticked except, web rep, avast gadget, mail shield, P2P shield, IM shield (doesn't work with Yahoo messenger anyway). Like I have mentioned before in this Avast antivirus review, Avast premium offers complete online protection for all of your laptops and devices.
DOES AVAST WEBSHIELD WORK WITH VISTA INSTALL
Do you have anti-virus installed which includes a link scanner or similar? Try disabling it! Web shield is not a firewall so I will install it.
