Yes, basically he drove the equivalent of a little more than a block

to avoid walkiing perhaps 30 or 40 feet.

Worse still , it was to a bar...presumably to drink.

And I presume he drove home afterwords.

Amazing!

Re: I believe it may be a virus or trojan horse

Finally, after Gary fixed IE, (Thank you so much.) Smart guy......Avast sent me this

e-mail:

"Hello,

You should allow web shield avast! provider to access internet in your firewall

settings.

You can remove existing rules for avast in your firewall, then start avast update (or

restart Windows to trigger auto-update check). When firewall asks, allow avast.setup

access to internet and create the rule again. If your firewall has option that

allowed program changes often, set it too.

For the correct operation the Web Shield process (ashWebSv.exe or aswWebSv.exe)

needs a permission to access the Internet (TCP port 80) and a permission to act as a

server and accept incoming

connections from localhost (the local machine) on TCP port 12080.

Best Regards,

Petr Bucek

Technical Support

Alwil Software a.s."

It took them 4 days to respond. They are in Russia so I doubt it was a holiday

weekend for them.

Then Gary fixed OE. My PC is running great so far. I just need a little fire wall.

Thank you all so much for not giving up on me, and I'm sorry for the different

strings. Ginny

Re: I believe it may be a virus or trojan horse

I hesitate to add anything further, but on Win98, Avast's Web Shield does not work

unless you set proxy settings manually in the browser. I suspect the reply you

received from Avast support did not take into account that you are using Win98.

http://www.avast.com/eng/webshield_issues.html#idt_6869

http://www.avast.com/files/tutorials/ws_ieproxy.htm

http://www.avast.com/files/tutorials/ws_ffproxy.htm

Since Gary appears to be helping you via private email, you should let Gary decide

whether it is worth implementing this on your system. I have not, on my Win98

system with Avast, but I'm pretty careful about how I traverse the Internet. YMMV.

I've implemented that, as it seemed to improve avast!'s performance

You are welcome. Alright. I'm glad to see Terhune got your machine back
