Guest CdLSRN Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 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 "Gary S.
