i have no test button. Only in the notification settings. i cant look at proxy settings as the proxy button does not react. (i click on the button and nothing happens.)
A personal firewall, nevertheless, was recently tested on the system, but it has been deactivated a couple of days ago. (Zone Labs)
I am sure the servers are OK, it must be a setting on my side, but I cant figure it out.
Can you manually ping that websites?
You can find a list of the IP to ping at FAQ of avast! (both on-line and off-line, ie, in the help files).
Can you reach the servers at your browser? :-\
