As mentioned 2 posts above, the firewall has nothing to do with this issue… read what I’ve posted… even with the FW turned OFF it’s not working. And for what it’s worth, I did check the firewall settings just in case and AVAST is allowed in and out without restrictions.

I’m using the default Win7 firewall by the way…

Yeah I’m watching AVAST doing it’s thing all right, it’s blocking everything on my computer since the 6.0.1125 update! :wink:

By the way, I went ahead and updated the laptop to 6.0.1125 and its working fine…

So, what else could be blocking all HTTP traffic with web traffic scan enabled?

So far, I’ve been told:
-Firewall (this is NOT my issue)
-Winsock catalog corruption (I’ve already tried the netsh “fix” twice…)
…?
