I have just discovered a problem with the Web Shield in v6.0.1289. It only happens on the Vista Machine, the Win 7 one is fine. Suddenly, and this just happened today, when I go to speedtest.net, the download test stops and starts and gives skewed results but the upload test runs fine. If I disable the Web Shield, everything works as it should. This did not happen the last time I went to speedtest a few days ago before the latest round of Windows Updates and the installation of Office 2007 on the machine.

Well that’s weird as the web shield should function the same for Vista as it Does for Win7.
I don’t have Vista and my last test on XP Pro was 35.91Mbps on 3 Sept, can’t recall if I had this 6.0.1289 version, but ran it today and got 35.33Mbps, which is very much the same given any minor line variables.
You might want to try this rather than disable the web shield, in the Expert Settings, Main settings, check the ‘Scan traffic from well-known browser processes only’ option and see if that makes a difference.
