Both IE and Firefox stopped pulling pages recently and I’m unsure what happened to cause this. I’m running version 4.8-1368. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Avast Home (registered) version with no luck. I’m running Zone Alarm Pro version 9.1.008. On Windows XP Home.
Maybe you can remove ashWebSv.exe from ZA program settings.
Boot.
Allow it again.
If it fails. Try uninstalling ZA to see if it works.
