Random Errors in Console

When I look in console, I always see these random messages about Avast. They are frequent too. I did a Google search, but did not come up with any conclusive resolution/explanation.

The messages are:

com.avast.proxy[138]: Error reading receive buffer: read(): Connection reset by peer

com.avast.proxy[60]: Defective HTTP response!

Could someone help me out with this? Thanks!

Those are warnings from the Web shield that inform about a problem when analyzing the web traffic.
There are two reasons, that can cause them:

  • An invalid HTTP request/response
  • Webshield bug

There will be some changes/fixes in the next program version, so those messages should became rare. Additionaly, there will be more info printed to the system log on such events.

Oh, thanks for the explanation!
