IE doesn't work

[haralein]

Hello!

i'm not sure if my problem is caused by spybot, but i think so!

my internet connection works only for a few seconds, then i have to reconnect....

what i noticed: as long as the autmatic updater of ANTIVIR runs, my internet connection also works! i don't know why

i have
windows 2000
spybot 1.4
update 2006-03-10

i have already set back the operations i have done with spybot, but the internet still doesn't work! i also searched for viruses, but nothing!

i hope somebody can help me

Dropping internet after AntiVir Update

With the recent (15 March) AntiVir UpDate to Build 143, some have reported
this connection termination occuring.

Open Configuration Panel and place a check in the box next to "Expert mode" and tree below will expand
to add "General" , click the [+] and then the word 'Update' and there should be
a dot in the radio button in Download via Internet.

Now click the [+] by Update and then the words 'Web server'.

My setup (default from installation) has a dot in the radio button "Use existing connection (network)"
and I have never had any problem, it does its update when I connect to the internet
through my Internet Service Provider via DialUp and never 'terminates'.

Again, this is my default setup, no dot on "Use the following connection:"
but it does list my Internet Service Provider in the box below with "User and Password" empty.

Below "User" my default shows a check in the [ ] Terminate a dial-up connection that was set up for the update and to change that,
you would need to first 'dot' the "Use the following connection:" to make it active and then remove that check.

I have never changed any of the above from default, yours may be different if install was for cablemodem or DSL,
I do recall that the old AntiVir 6 would put up a "We are going to Terminate, if you don't click this..."
on every (manual) Update, no matter the settings.

It would be great, if AVIRA would create a WebSite to provide "Expert" Knowledge
on each and every dot and check on that Configuration page.
