    I installed yesterday the AVG 8.0 antispyware with avg antivirus Pro on Vista Home Premium using Vista Firewall
    Before i installed AVG 8.0 (the antispyware version) I had to install the kb929547 patch from microsoft.
    After the install everything seemed to work ok.

    Today I started the computer and it showed that i am connected to the internet but I could not go anywhere. I disabled webshield and that is how I am typing this.

    Enable Webshield- same problem


    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Try reinstalling AVG. Seems like the driver had a bad hook somewhere due to the Windows patch.

    will let you know
    I just reinstalled the 87 built (uninstalled the 86 because I had reinstalled it and unchecked webshield)
    and checked webshield
    so far I can connect to the internet after a reboot
    But last time it was working for a while then started this action so I will let you know as time goes by

    Yes. I'm really liking the new AVG8 after these updates.
