manpe Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I have a problem regarding sites owned by Google (mainly Orkut, YouTube and Picasa).. They almost never open, they either keep loading for eternity or give an error (could not connect). Sometimes those sites function, but mostly not. First I thought it's a problem of G. Chrome browser, because I could access those sites with Firefox, but sometimes I can't do that even with FF, although FF almost always opens the login page (but doesn't log in, whilst Chrome doesn't even open login page).Are some of you experiencing the same thing, or is it a problem of my computer?Thanks.

Rock Lee Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Nope all are working fine over here. In both IE & in Chrome. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work for you but you said FF so I more than likely won't be a part in this problem's solution :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shought Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 What AV/Firewall do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shought Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 That would be the cause of the issue, if I'm not mistaken.A few possible solutions mentioned here:http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=239466 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 my friend had the same problem and he had to reset his hosts filehe couldn't access adobe, imdb and youtube :)I can access the sites at the moment, for example. I temporarily disabled ESS completely and then re-enabled it again... I don't know if it has anything to do with it. Skimming the link you gave me it seems that ESS indeed has a problem with Google sites. Still waiting for a solution though, didn't find anything good on the ESET forum.I turned my updating mode to Test Mode (as it was suggested there). Hopefully it'll help, not sure what it does though... probably releases beta modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irefay Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 hu. I would not have guessed that a firewall could have a problem with a group of sites. Seems from the posts its mostly on Vista and W7 builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
