Feed keeps going offline

[w7dux]

It seems as though my feed is going offline somewhat randomly so I thought I would have a look at the log. Below is a copy of my log showing when it went offline, how do I keep this from happening. Also, when I go to see if ScannerCast is offline, it is not and it says that it is still broadcasting even if RR says it is offline.

Forgive me if the answer to this is already on the forum, I could not find it.

Going offline (and coming back online) at random times is to be expected.

If you're running AVG as your antivirus program, be aware that (a) it's not a good choice, and (b) it is well known to cause problems exactly like the one you're describing with properly designed network programs such as ScannerCast.

I am having the same issue.. and I AM using AVG. Can you recommend another freeware virus program to use that wont cause issues with ScannerCast? Its just an old laptop that I am using to stream, so I don't care what virus program I am running. (as long as its not too bloated and will grind my laptop to a halt)
