AdSubtract suddenly blocked http?
 

Am at a neighbours house, and not sure what this problem is due to but AdSubtract 2.55 now blocks any http access while it's running, something it should not be doing!

Have uninstalled it, reinstalled it, checked hosts file as Adsub uses 127.0.0.1 to route traffic through itself, IE is set to allow proxy on port 4444 default adsub proxy port, in fact it's setup identical to my home PC yet I can't now browse with it's running? Zone Alarm is not the problem as it does it with that disabled.

Not come across this before, anyone shed any light on the problem please.

When you say Zone Alarm is disabled, are you sure it's processes are not running - ZE is well known for still running, even when you think it isn't.

This combo has been running in unison for months now Paul, so I don't belive ZA is the culprit here as running AdSub blocks all http requests and exiting it enables all http requests again, so something has gone pear shaped on the http front.

Am actually going to go round later today and install SP2 on her machine as it's only got SP1, so that should hopefully reset IE and Network settings and 'hopefully' solve the problem.

Well, installing SP2 solved the problem :) AdSubtract now works correctly!

So either IE got corrupted somehow or some network settings. I did recall a 'netsh' command I could have used that resets the network settings but I'd installed SP2 by the time I remembered where I wrote it down, so can't be sure that would have helped :/

Anyway, it's now working.
