Have the free Avast 2014 ver 9 running on Vista. Have a problem with resolving some host names. When the web shield is disabled the problem goes away.
Are you using a proxy server?
After fighting this for days i posted the message and have now found the problem the ipv4 internet address on my router was blank, so I released and renewed and things semm to be working fine now.
Thanks for the response!
Ok, always good to hear a problem is solved.
