Yes, avast both home/free and pro can do that :wink:

Hello
Check automatically (home / pro) :slight_smile:

  1. This web site is the Web Shield
  2. File System Shield
    It can be seen, if you open the antivirus program

Right click the “a” ball in the system tray and choose on-access protection control. Click details and then click web shield in the left pane. There you can see the last website scanned and the number (if any) infections found
