Hi, this has already been done, I still cant use the web shield and have to have it turned off. i have tried reinstalling avast with no luck.
Do you have any firewall (s)…?
One of Russian-speaking users experiences slowdown in Firefox 3.5 during Web Shield work. He installed Avast four years ago and his previous antivirus was NOD32. His firewall is ZoneAlarm. What could I suggest him to do?

Avast + Zone Alarm needs to be configured well before everything runs smoothly.
the only fire wall i have is windows
The user’s problem is solved. He turned WebShield off, updated the database and turned WebShield on. Now he has no problem with internet connections.
Hi all, has anyone got any ideas to why i cant run web shield.
Can you activate logging in WebShield?
0. (Disable avast self-defense module: Program settings > Troubleshooting tab of settings.)
- Edit \data\avast4.ini file with Notepad (or use step 0 with other text editors).
- Find the section [WebScanner]
- Add the line:
EnableLogging=1 - Restart Web Shield in XP\Vista (terminate and start again) or whole PC in case of Win98
- Browse (trying to access some webpages)
The log file are \data\log\ashwebsv.log and ashwebsv.ws.
They would be accessible when WebShield is terminated again.
Post them here or send by mail to rypacek (at) asw.cz
After that, disable the logging to avoid a big log file.
Oh, enable the self-defense module again after that if you have to follow step 0.
I have lost the Avast icon in the systray. I cannot find how to restore it for automatic t updates. Any ideas?
Hello Pato,
Please could you start another topic as your problem is unrelated to the original poster’s and this will cause confusion.
