I’m using the free antivirus Avast! on this computer and recently suddenly started receiving a lot of strange error messages. It comes up in red and reads:
The page cannot be displayed

* Click the Refresh button, or try again later.
* Open the Web site home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
* Check your firewall settings. The Web Shield process (ashWebSv.exe) must be allowed to access the Internet.

I have yet to find any useful information toward resolving this issue. Seems like it goes away if I go to "On-Access Protection Control" and disable Web Shield. I didn’t even know I was using a “web proxy” on this machine. Could explain some of the sluggishness.
