Hi,
I’m a new user of Avast and like it a lot. How do I configure Web Shield to work with Win98, AdSubtract Pro 2.55, and AOL 7.0? Thanks for your help.

I think the default configuration will work…
Do you use a proxy filter to connect the Internet? What is AdSubtract Pro?
Welcome to avast forums 
AdSubtract acts as a local proxy to filter popups, sounds, referrers, etc. I’ve tried the default and a couple of other settings but it still lets the eicar test files download without any warning. The Web Shield Scanned and Infected Count are both 0.
Firstly, you must describe your configuration. Than we can find out a place where to inject webshield.
The proxy page in AdSubtract says “Use an AOL proxy”.
AOL proxy: www.proxy.aol.com Port: 11523
Defaults: www.proxy.aol.com 11523
Listening TCP port 3124
I have Avast proxy settings set to Auto Detect
And in your browser you have what proxy settings?
I apologize for the long delay between replies but I work a 12 hour shift. In IE 6.0 it says to use proxy server HTTP AdSubtract port 3124.
Edit avast4.ini (in c:\program files\alwil software\avast4\data\avast4.ini),
find the section [WebScanner] and add these lines
[WebScanner]
UpstreamProxyHost=127.0.0.1
UpstreamProxyPort=3124
Restart the WebShield provider. (terminate and then start).
Then setup Internet Explorer to use webshield as a proxy server: localhost, port: 12080

Thanks Lukor. I made the changes you suggested and it works fine now.
