Please tell me, do you have any Anti-virus and/or anti-spyware program(s) and version (not only "Avast")
Are you using a software firewall besides your anti-virus program? If so, what firewall and version?
Are you connected to internet through a router? If yes, please tell us brand, model and version.
List active addons you use in your browser(s)
Also, try to test websocket connections in Chrome etc.
1. Go to http://websocket.org/echo.html [websocket.org]
2. Click on Connect. Do you get a line saying CONNECTED in the Log window?
3. Click on Send. Do you get SENT and RESPONSE lines in the Log window?
4. Use secure WebSocket (TLS) and try 2 and 3 again. Different result?
Please accept solutions if they are correct and press the XP button if somebody helped you.
Cheers
