Im old and not very computer savvy, so would appreciate any help in not too technical terms please…
Thanks.
Are you trying to say what avast webshield is not scanning traffic when you are using Firefox? Or what? Sorry but I can’t understand your question at the moment… ???
In case of =YLAP='s guess is true – try go following instruction on http://www.avast.com/files/tutorials/ws_ffproxy.htm
Please, let us know if it helps.
Wellcome to the forum
For Windows 9x, you have to manually configure the browser proxy, as described here: http://www.avast.com/eng/faq-home-webshield.html
For Windows XP/Vista, you have to do nothing, it’s automatic.
Do you use any proxy application (an annonimizer, for instance)?
