I believe Outpost has been implicated before when these kinds of problems
pop up. Not sure about Avast. You can check the email archives for details.
If these are recent changes (or at least different than the last time
when you didn't have these problems), you can uninstall them and try again.
Turning them off is not generally enough because of changes these kinds of
programs make in the network stack when they are installed.
