Dial-up pop up after update v4.6.665

Since the last update, when windows startup i get a dial-up pop up to ameritrade.streamer.com.
What’s going on ???

What?
avast does not dial, never. avast does not disconnect, never.
You should have a spyware in your system, probably a dialer.
Why don’t you run a full avast scan and, better, run an Ad-aware + Spybot scanning?

I’m sorry moses,
webshield checks for several ingored addresses that it cannot redirect. Unfortunately ameritrade.streamer.com is one of them and WebShield does a DNS lookup during startup. I didn’t realized this would be a problem. I already changed the config and it will propagate in the next VPS update.

Till then, you can edit your HOSTS file and add the proper record for ametritrade to prevent the lookup.

edit: C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

add the line:
198.200.173.139 ameritrade.streamer.com

Sorry for the hassle.
