    Hi i was wondering (well more hoping) you could help me, as for no apparant rhyme or reason my outpost 2.5 keeps blocking my aol broadband connection.

    I swich off my internet connection then turn the machine off everything is fine, i get no error messages and no messages to block access to anything.

    The next morining i turn on my pc and try to load up broadband and it says cant connect. I then disable outpost and it connects fine.

    How do i stop it and how do i fix it. I have looked at the list of blocked applications and aol doesnt seem to be listed there. So how do i fix it.

    Thanks

    Please check the Outpost logs (Blocked, Attack Detection, Component Control and Alerts Tracker sections) for any related entries and post the details.

    Yes according to these logs it is definitely blocking my aol connection.

    I have to say i also do not know what this www.g7s.net is (do i have a browser hijacker on my machine?)

    Can anyone help fix this, thanks

    Hello Anthony1uk

    For a quick test please go to Options>Plug-ins setup>highlight DNS Cache and click on Stop. Reboot and try things now and please let us know how it goes.
