Avast Web Scanner question (version 4.8)

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Zone Alarms shows Avast Web Scanner “listening to ports TCP(s) 12080 (Trusted Zone only)”.

Is this correct? The setting I have for Web Scanner in ZA is Access for Trusted and Internet Zones, and ask for Local Server rights and blocked for Internet Server rights.

When I look at the Web Scanner details I do see the last site I’ve been to, I’m just wondering about the “trusted zone only” message I see.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Libra

Hi, WebShield listens on localhost only, on port 12080 - so this is trully just a trusted zone (in fact, these ports are not opened from outside of your PC). It however downloads the web pages for your browser, is it accesses the internet.

Hence the corrent setup is:

Access: Internet zone
Server: Trusted zone only

Hi Lukor,

I thought it was working properly but got confused when I saw trusted zone. I appreciate your letting me know the setting is correct and explaining how it works.
Thank you so much. :slight_smile:
