Avast Fails Anti-Phishing Test

General Topics
1

I’ve just tried the anti-phishing test here http://www.amtso.org/check-desktop-phishing. The page loads, so it seems that, according to the page, “Avast fails as If you can read this page, it indicates either: Your Anti-Malware solution is not (yet) supporting this Feature Settings Check, or Your Anti-Malware solution’s Anti-Phishing feature is not enabled or misconfigured.”

As far as I can see, there is nothing I can set up which isn’t already, so I’d be grateful for confirmation that Avast is not enabled for this.

Regards AOS here, not installed. But, WebShield is active and running. OpenDNS installed, not blocked. Avast! got to it first.

See below for attachment:

No harm done, block successful.

Maybe OP forgot to mention WebShield not enabled?

Working just fine here - I too don’t have AOS installed and the web shield was all over it like a rash.

Note that on the initial page (check-desktop-phishing) avast is listed as one of the Vendors supporting this feature.
