IIS Stops working after 2-3 days


IIS Stops working after 2-3 days aqualizard NO[at]SPAM gmail.com

inetserver asp db:
I am working on a project using classic ASP. Every time I install
Windows and IIS, it works for 2-3 days and then starts having problems.
Specifically, things that have to do with the FileSystemObject stop
working.

I have tried Win2k, WinXP, the IISs that go with them, different
partitions (fresh install), turning Windows Update Off as well as doing
full updates, and cannot find a solution that works for more than 2 or
3 days.

Is it a worm? A virus? A windows update glitch?

It is driving me crazy. Are others having problems like this recently?

Thank you,
A.L.

Most problems with FSO are related to this:

If this is not the problem, then we are going to need to know more details,
such as:

1. What does "stop working" mean? Error messages? Machine reboots? What?
2. How do you make it "start working" again?

Thank you Mr.Barrows.

I did some playing around, and indeed the problem was solved when I
unistalled the firewall I use, Agnitum Outpost 2.5.

It was great having my pages working again, but sucked not having my
computer optimally protected. So.....

I installed Mcafee Virusscan and Firewall Professional (I have version
8.0) figuring I could disable the "script blocking" easily enough, as
was mentioned in the thread you provided, if the Mcafee stuff gave me
problems.

Indeed it did give me problems. But I could not for the life of me
find out how to get things working!

I uninstalled the Anti-Virus/Firewall and things are working again.
BUT I NEED PROTECTION!

Can someone please give me a working firewall/anti-virus combo
compatible with IIS for XP? I will try anything except for Norton,
which is too much of a resource hog.

Thanks,
A.L.

Both Norton and McAfee are horribly invasive and both have overlarge
footprints IMHO. I use AVG and couldn't be happier.
