AVG antivirus interferes with webbrick locally ?

Has anyone seen a problem like this ... I have avg on windows XP. Running webbrick, often when I define a new controller or action, when I try to access it, avg intercepts it and redirects it to some other page not found url like this:

http://avg.urlseek.vmn.net/search.php?lg=en&mkt=en&type=404&tb=ff&tbn=avg&q=http://localhost:3000/weather

I haven't figured out anyway to get around this thus far and avg seems to have no built in way to disable such action

If you're on FF, I wonder if disabling the AVG plugin would fix your problem...it's new with the latest AVG8. You can just go to FF's addon manager & disable it. -Dale
