Again, thanks for your help. That's what makes this a great forum - such knowledgeable members always willing to extend a helping hand.

Here's another great thread I must thank you for: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=381098#post381098

 

Thanks - finally a response after 65 views. I only had both installed because others here said there was no conflict - well, there was no conflict until Avast updated. Of course, Avast is saying, "it's a clear bug in NOD32"

 

"Of course", lynchknot.

Well IMON works as a hook (LSP) that injects its DLL to each networking [winsock] app (well technically not injects, it is injected automatically by the winsock layer). But if it crashes, it's a bug - no matter if the host application is a tiny ping program, huge database server or (say) avast WebShield..

That's just my oppinion, of course.

BTW lynchknot I believe that for the Eset guys to solve the problem it would be helpful to have the crash dump files avast generated.


Or maybe I could communicate it with the folks @Eset myself, I know them pretty well...

Thanks

hehe, I did not mean, "of course" sarcastically.

Crash dumps were sent: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=11345.msg96582#msg96582

 

No probs here, but I'm curious as to why to have Avast's web checker running given that IMON's HTTP scanner gets files in the first place. Having two scanners running at Winsock level is likely to result in issues. That's probably the same like having two resident protections running at a time.

 

wasn't running IMON - and there were no problems running both as resident - only prob. with ashweb.
