Anyone know which Advanced System Protector shield screws up GOTD activation?

I'd been having activation problems and just realized that I installed Advanced System Protector (probably got it from here) around the time that I started having problems. Sure enough, I go in, disable all the shields & am able to activate. I like having shields and would like to figure out

1. which shield was causing the problem, so I can turn the other shields back on. I know I can find this out by trial & error, but if anyone has already found out the answer, I'd appreciate it.

2. is there anything I can do to tweak the ssttings of the shield responsible so that it lets GOTD through, but blocks other stuff.

Hi,this Is strange as i use advanced system protector with all the shields active and am able to activate no problem,have you got any other real-time shields running that do the same job as the ones in system protector could be maybe a conflict between programs fighting for control.

I'm not an Advanced System Protector, but I'm most likely to guess the firewall portion of the program. You'd have to ask others for more details...

@judydog - That may be it. I already had Comodo and just installed ASP too, figuring that if there were problems I could just deactivate one, but things worked okay for a few days (enough that I had forgotten about it) when GOTD went bad. The fact that ASP installed to Program Files didn't help, as, when I was looking for what I had done, I didn't look there as I never install things there.

Guess I'll have to muck around to find settings of ASP & Comodo that protect me best while letting GOTD activations through.

Well, the problem is back. I've exited both firewalls & still get "Failed to connect. Please try again later"

Okay, I restarted Comodo & tried again and it worked. How odd.

The same thing happened today. No go with comodo and ASP. I exited ASP and still no go, exited Comodo, ditto, but after I turned comodo back on, it worked.
