Avast won´t let me go to the internet

Hi.
Just installed newest Avast under Windows XP SP3, Firefox 2.xxx.
I´m always connected via LAN, a speedport router and T-Online.

After installation, with activated avast!..scanner, no more internet.
If I deactivate the scanner via systray, internet is okay again.

Whats wrong here?

Thx,
Mike

Do you have a firewall?

Did you allow avast! to connect?

Thx.

Yes, I have the sunbelt kerio, but avast is open to the internet.
Edit: ok, by disabling Kerio it works. Funny, within Kerio Avast ist green for internet. That doesn´make sense.

Into the firewall settings, the following programs should be allowed to connect:

C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashWebSv.exe (avast! Web Scanner)
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashMaiSv.exe (avast! e-Mail Scanner Service)
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\avast.setup (avast! Update executable). This is a temporary file that just appears when an update (check) is about to launch, and disappears again afterwards.

Are you using the free or the paid version of Kerio?

All was allowed, thx.

I deinstalled Kerio, and totally installed it new. All rules were new set - now it works.
Thx alot for your time.

Best wishes, Mike
