This Java based program is being shut down by avast. How do I tell avast not to scan programs form this site? Or do you have other suggestions to stop this from happening. I am using the “free” version of avast. OS is XP pro and Java version 6 update 17. Please advise.
Well avast doesn’t block/shutdown, but scans and alerts to infection and presumably that isn’t the case as you don’t mention that ?
Some streaming doesn’t use HTTP protocols but still uses port 80 (the HTTP port) and the Web Shield monitors that port and is expecting HTTP protocol and that is the most common cause of streaming issues.
Open the Web Shield’s settings, Customize, Basic tab, and enter the IP address in the Ignored addresses: dialogue box, see image.
