Active Virus Shield Problems
When AVS showed up in a previous download digest, I decided to try it. I am as wary of AOL software as most, but since C|Net/ZDnet recommended it, and it was by Kapersky, I decided to try it. First off, there was a problem installing it on the first machine. I found a way around that in the forums for this product. Now it's working just fine on that machine.

Then, I installed it on another machine in my network. So far, so good, until I tried to access my network, that is. It completely hid the network and made my intranet completely inaccessible. I finally had time to completely uninstall AVS and my network started working again.

On the Kaspersky website, someone made the same complaint and was answered that it couldn't be the AV software causing the problem - it had to be a firewall or soemthing else. No, it's AVS causing the problem. I installed Avira Antivir instead, and everything's fine now.
