  1. Please open “WebShield.ini” by notepad.exe.

2000 / XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Alwil Software\Avast5
Vista / 7:
C:\ProgramData\Alwil Software\Avast5

  1. Put these phrases at “[WebScanner]” section:
    OptinProcess=sleipnir.exe (or your browser’s file name)

  2. Save it. Avast’s self-defense may alert you, so allow it.

P.S.
This link shows same procedure in Japanese: if you are Japanese, this can be more easy to follow. ;D
