The new version of avast has broken my favorite program Vity’s FreeRapid Downloader (FRD). Can anyone advise how to get back my ability to connect to the internet with this file download manager? It is a standard Java application.
I just updated avast Free Antivirus to ver 2014.9.0.2006 (today) and it blocks FRD (0.9u3). If I turn off avast, FRD makes an internet connection just fine. If avast is back on, FRD runs, but can make no connections (no downloads or updates). Its obviously an avast setting. I have tried exclusions and all sorts of things in avast settings, but I do not know specifically what part is blocking frd. I have narrowed it down - to the Web Shield blocking FRD. In the Web Shield settings I cant work out what to change. I cant seem to include any exclusions.
Has anyone been able to solve this issue? I would greatly appreciate some help if you can.
