Can I edit a file to block URLs ?

Hi folks,

I would like to know if it is possible to just edit a file from Avast program and add all the URL websites to be blocked at once.

I don`t want to type all URLs int the Web Shield Protection.

I just wanna do just like ad-block extension for firefox/mozilla, by importing a list.

thanks

I wouldn’t mess with the mdb file if I were you…

You can simply block url’s by editing the hosts file on your system. If you use google and use a search string like:

block url hosts file

you will find many sites with information on how to do so.

Am I in danger? Blocked registry access? What’s the matter… just to learn ;D
