Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 MultiZilla/1.8.0.1d
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 MultiZilla/1.8.0.1d

sometimes, i get the above mentioned error (website's which occur this error msg
vary, but are the same url on which it happens from time to time. one example
see above) msg with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8)
Gecko/20050511 MultiZilla/1.8.0.1d. however, very strange is that after that msg
i cannot connect to any url in either mozilla, ie  or icq. actually right after
that msg, even though icq may be up and running, it automatically disconnects
and i'm not be able to reconnect anymore. same thing with ie btw. no url works
anymore. nothing seems to help (i.e. restarting the app, etc.), except reboot
the sys. now i've been able to track this prob down, so it seems. i'm running
win2k sp4 right now and it seems that visiting these sites makes the service for
Symantec Network Proxy (i'm using NIS 2004) crash each time. after that its not
possible to visit sites anymore or use icq, until you're restarting this
specific service.

i'm not sure if it's mozilla/symantec/bad html coding (although it doesnt seem
to happen when i'm using ie on the same site), but i think you should know.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have symantec norton internet security 2004, win2k sp4 & mozilla installed
2. visit http://mtz.softpedia.com
3. look at your services (maybe event manager too) & see if you can connect to
any site or if you can use icq 




just restart the service until this one is fixed :)
