I haven’t had any major problem with the new build but I notice some slow page loading with Web Shield(scan web HTTP traffic) checked, when I unchecked it, things zip real fast. all specs in sig. thanks for any respond in advance
You could try repairing or reinstalling. Don’t have any other ideas at the moment.
okay, thanks
I seem to have a similar problem.
All my shields are working except for the Web Shield. I am running Vista 32 Bit, the latest Avast updates and Internet Explorer 8. IE is incredibly slow and stops responding.
I think the two problems are related but haven’t found a way to fix it. I’ve already spend many frustrating hours trying to resolve this. What am I missing? I should also mention that Mozilla Firefox works just fine!
I just discovered that if I uncheck the “Enable Protected Mode” in the “Securities” tab in the “Internet Properties” in the “Control Panel”… It speeds up IE8 a lot! It is dangerous to do that though, and it doesn’t fix the Web Shield issue I have.
@ Siena,
Please see the thread you started http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=68780.0 for assistance with your problem. Thank you.
none helped mine!
I really don’t know what else to do to fix this. If no other more experienced user will give you an idea I don’t think leaving it off would be a good idea since it’s an important shield of avast so you could go back to 5.0.677 until a new build is released. I know that’s not fixing.
