Dragon won't load any sites???

Comodo Dragon - CD Help - CD
#1

I’ve just downloaded and installed Dragon ver 4.1.1.12. The installation went well, however, Dragon will not load any inet pages? It just sits there and does nothing, then it asks if I want to kill the page or wait. I picked wait and after 10 mins the page still had not loaded? Any ideas?? I can use IE, FF, and or Oprea and all is well, but Dragon will not load any pages.

Thanks for your time.

Nice to hear that :slight_smile:

JamesKB, please provide list of your security software because it seems like something is blocking Dragon browser.

Could you please look through your security software settings and logs (firewalls, AVs, HIPS ) to ensure that nothing blocks the browser ?

Thanks.

Anti-virus: Most current version registered Avast!
Spyware: Most current version of registered PC Tools Spyware Doctor
Firewall: Most current version of Comodo Firewall

I’ve looked through m security software settings and logs and see nothing that should stop Dragon.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot.

Investigated the problem.

PC Spyware doctor somehow blocks the Dragon from normal work.

If Spyware Doctor is disabled (turned off by clicking ‘Shut down’ in tray menu ) Dragon works.

Is there a work-a-round for this problem?? I searched the PC Tools Spyware Doctor (SD) forum and find no reference to Comodo Dragon.

I think I have fixed the problem for now however. I shut down SD as you suggested BUT did not re-boot the machine as prompted. I tried Dragon again and low and behold it worked properly. Then I closed Dragon and restarted SD and tried Dragon again and it worked. So now I have SD running and I’m using Dragon to send this message. Weird. Do you think that for some strange reason what I did solved the problem?

Thanks for your time.

Nope!! Once I re-booted Dragon would not work if Spyware Doctor is running. Sigh…

I have d/l and installed CISPro. So, do I need to keep Spyware Doctor running or does CISPro do the spyware thing?

Thanks for your time.

CIS does the whole malware thing, there is no need for anything else.
