Guys I still had problem with my browser, It won’t work when the web-shield turn on, But Its normal when the web-shield service terminated…
1st time I assuming it was the firewall, but with the firewall disabled it won’t work too if the web-shield service turn on, so its not the firewall… ???
2nd I got advice if maybe there is some malware that causes the browser won’t work if the web-shield turn on, but i Already scanned my computer with Ewido and everything is fine…
So Is it possible there sometihing incorrect with my Avast Setting…but which part ??? :-\
And I already try add the line : EnableLogging=1 at the [Webscanner] section, on the avast4.ini but still I can’t browse if web-shield service turn on…
So please guys, Any more Advice ???
This what it show when I try to browse with the webshield turn on
I already done what you advice me but still It won’t solve my browser problem, I still Only can browse if the Web-Shield turn off
and the log file ashwebsv.log and ashwebsv.ws are empty ( 0 kb) nothing there
I have exactly the same problem as described here (thats why i was searching this forum). On acces webshield scanner on: no internet.
Turning it off makes my internet work fine!
As you said, it does not scan https sites. And indeed; when i turn the on acces webshield on, not any website works, EXCEPT the https websites.
I have no idea what the problem is here…maybe some firewall from a router?
But, did you activate logging in WebShield as I’ve posted before?
Did WebShield work at least one time in your computer?
Do you use any annonimizer (proxy) application?
WebShield does not scan https because the traffic is encrypted and avast cannot know the encryption… otherwise, anybody will know it and steal your bank data 8)
What do you mean by " Activate logging in Webshield" If its starting the webshield services : Yes, I already done that and When I started the service, I Can’t browse the Http at all. :-[
How would I notice it ? I Can’t use my browser at all…
what is that ? Can you give me an example, because I’m not an advanced computer user
One problem leads to another. Based on advice above I’m doing an Ewido scan now, but none of the buttons on Ewido screens have any text, so I have to try to remember which button does what.
same here, and I’m tracking this post juz in case a solution pops up :-[
Internet services working when the web access control is on:
e-mail (ofcourse not webmail) both pop and smtp
ping, both in dns and in ip addy
telnet, both dns/ip
tracert
all TCP / UDP services running in background which includes IM, download managers, etc
Internet services NOT working when web access control is on:
http (no proxy, port is default 80)
Browser: Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.6, IE7 beta 3
Error messages? Naah, just the plain old page cannot be displayed.
OS: WINXP SP2
Scripts running? Yes, but none pertaining to internet nor LAN (this is my only PC)
What I already did:
cleaned cookies and temp
scanned adaware through ewido (found 32, cleaned em, same problem)
added avast in windows firewall exceptions list
added same in trust lists
BTW, if it needs mentioning AVAST didn’t find any viruses on system and she is the only anti-virus on my system, though I do have Ewido
checked file permissions → found two errors, fixed em using using WMIdiag command in cmd
when I’m just about to give up, I went to this forum and voila, found I’m not the only guy in the planet who’s having this problem.
Cheers ;D
Temporary solution: well, I have that web access control turned off 8)
One of our regular "Helpers" reported having problems with IE7, Beta 3;
perhaps if you removed it & went back to IE6, it may help !?
I do NOT believe it is wise to have "Beta" products on a computer UNLESS
one is a very "Advanced" computer person .
I’m on IE 6, have never installed IE 7, mainly use Firefox and have the problem, so don’t think going back to IE 6 would be anything other than another exercise in futility.
I’ll try your suggestion (removing my IE 7 beta 3) within the next 12 hours (still have tsomething else to do). Regarding problems, I did had quite a few problems regarding IE 7 beta 3, thought I fixed 'em except for this web access control thingy.
Having said that, I don’t think the problem is with IE7 because my Mozilla firefox 1.5.0.6 is also not showing webpages when the web access control is on in Avast. I’ll try your suggestion within the next 12 hours (got something else to do) and I’ll just edit this post if it worked. Thanks
Quite sure it ain`t a problem of IE7 beta.
I never tried IE7, but i have the problem.
Im also quite sure it aint a problem of my home network; an other computer in the network which is also running win xp with avast doesnt have the problem.
I have a bit of input. Have win98 gold (not se). Same problem, only my connection was really slow. I stopped by going to start, run, msconfig, click OK, and the click the start up tab and uncheck avast running programs.
The problem stopped right away—just like that.
Cant use the on-access protection though! Is that the right name?
Anyway, it most certainly appears to be the interworking of these avast running programs (a and I icons).
dude…we are on the same team here ;D. please inform me if you solution or progress with this problem
