Although this appears to nave nothing to do with .NET, I had a similar
experience with Avast when building a couple of new Win 7 PC's and
installing Avast from a previously downloaded install package.
It was solved when I forced an online update to the latest available
subversion of Avast. Note that the automatic update facility provided by

Re: Socket security like HttpWebRequest

I'm not sure. Try it and see if you can get it to work.
I think you would probably have SSL on the "outside" of the stream if you
were to do that but I don't know. If you do try it, I suggest you avoid

NegotiateStream will allow you to use Negotiate authentication (integrated

Socket security like HttpWebRequest

property to perform security checks. Could any one help us that we subclass
socket with these properties. we have used SSLStream but that uses SSL not
the security techniques used by HttpWebRequest. Can anyone help us on how we

Are you getting a security exception or a casting error? I'm wondering if
it's significant that both those OS versions are UAC.

CurrentPrincipal

When is this castable to a WindowsPrincipal? I was working on some
sample code that looks like this:
System.Security.Principal.Wind owsPrincipal principal =
(WindowsPrincipal)System.Threa ding.Thread.CurrentPrincipal;
However, this throws an exception on two different systems, one (running
Vista Ultimate) that is a member of a domain and I am logged in as a

Hi,
as far as I know, the email address is taken from the certificate. So you

Kind regards,
