Avast web shield is blocking good sites with the web shield, I think you should improve the mechanism to detect whether a site is good or bad.
Also, when I tried to add website which is blocked by Avast Web Shield to trusted zone it worked only for IE while it is still showing an annoying warning on Chrome and FF.
Warning
This site could have harmed your computer.
I am not even able close the warning. www.gebish.org is good website and even has https url still web shield is blocking it. I also tried to put it exclusions still getting the stupid warning.
Please rectify the problem.
Absolute rubbish, the webshield doesn’t slow down browsing ( nothing that is measurable ) and the webshield is one of the most important features as it’s the front line for detection.
Please refrain from posting if you are going to continually fail to understand how Avast works, continual poor advice and trolling of topics where you seem to find it amusing to either insult users or complain about Avast features which you completely fail to comprehend.
Not true. I mean, the part it is unneeded. WebShield is a very (most) important protection part of browsing.
And Avast does not use receive its detections by Google (Chrome) like you’ve stated.
wxw.gebish.org is good website and even has https url still web shield is blocking it.
A website can be harmless, but literally a second later malicious. Using a secured protocol (e.g. https) means the data traffic between your system and the website is encrypted, it doesn't say anything at all if the website is safe, trusted and such.
Tell the owner of the site to fix the JavaScript problems and after that ask avast to review the website.
If nothing harmful/suspicious is found, avast will allow the it again.
Your reply is nothing but fanboy garbage and the crickets here seem to join in with your polluted chorus.
Its a traffic webshield so yes browsing speed will be affected,thats obvious to all asunder.
So the issue between webshield and certain firewalls did not occur then.?.is that your proclamation from the rooftops.Well the town cryer can proclaim higher and prove otherwise.
Time will tell if the effectiveness of the webshield is truly apparent to the general public at large.
Remember its the job of a firewall to filter traffic.
Google “safe browsing” does not rely on virus detections.
Avast detects according to real time definitions (streaming and regular vps updates).
No longer an issue therefore not relevant.
If 1 or 2 milliseconds is slowing down your browsing something else is wrong with your system.
It takes 3 ms to blink your eyes. If you feel protection is not needed…good luck with that.
In the future unless you have something positive to add please don’t post.
