In the Wingate forum, Adrien wrote, "If you have data scanning plugins installed and deselected from a service, a bug in the engine breaks serialisation of services to GateKeeper." I am afraid I did just this.
I installed the trail version of Visnetic AV late last month with WinGate 5.0.7. Email worked fine, but browsing yielded poor results: A number of web pages no longer loaded coerrectly, and many were distorted. I disabled transparent redirection of the WWW proxy for both NAT and the WIC; and I disabled Visnetic AV in the WWW Proxy. I upgraded to version 5.0.8 last Friday. All Wingate service, except WWW proxy, eventually disappeared in Gatekeeper. Winsock redirection failed today. I upgraded to 5.0.10 - and the results were the same. I had only the WWW service. I reverted to 5.0.7. WinGate works again.
How would one disable VAV in browsing? Are my observations regarding browings problems and VAV similar to those of other persons? WinGate is on a dedicated WinXP PC. Norton AV CE 8.x is also installed on that PC.
