Good. You might want to read through the AV documentation how to make it allowed through it while still having the AV working.

I have a computer with Windows XP SP3 that HTTP traffic will not work on.  I can ping any website and get a response.  HTTPS traffic (HTTPS://gmail.com) works fine.  I have used IE and Firefox.  I repaired the Windows installation and that did not fix the issue.  I found a similar post to this, except it is for Windows 2003 Server.  http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Protocols/Application_Protocols/HTTP/Q_24600222.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+http+traffic+work

HTTP traffic not working, but HTTPS does in Windows XP

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. Hypertext is structured text that uses logical links (hyperlinks) between nodes containing text. HTTP is the protocol to exchange or transfer hypertext. HTTP functions as a request-response protocol in the client-server computing model. HTTP is designed to permit intermediate network elements to improve or enable communications between clients and servers. HTTP is an application layer protocol designed within the framework of the Internet Protocol Suite; it presumes an underlying and reliable transport layer protocol.
