Check to See If Windows Live Sky Drive is Down Please? (Avast or MS Problem)

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hi Everyone,

If you have a Windows Live Sky Drive account, please see whether or not you can get to it. I get an error when loggin in and need to find out if others are having problems with the server. I updated Avast Anti-Virus 6 today to the latest version. Sky Drive says that “An Error has occurred.” I cannot get to my documents.

I am failing to log in also. Probably a server issue.

Thanks for the reply! Let’s hope that MS is just updating something.

Just an idea. Could you try:

Avast main GUI → real time shields → Script Web Shield → expert settings → “Scan traffic from well known browser processes only”.

Please save and reboot (in theory, not necessary, but how many times we have seen a simple reboot solves problems?).

Then try again accessing Sky Drive. Of course, if this success, it could also be just a coincidence :).

[EDIT]
Corrected the shield.

The problem is with MS as hotmail has been of an on for the last few hours too, you can google the problem as there are complaints all over the net.

May be related to the power outage in Southern California.
