Hi, just intalled Avast! to our new bougth computer. Problem now is that I can´t administrate my Homepage. probably because the FTP is blocked…!?!
How do I configure the firewall?
Into the firewall settings, the following programs should be allowed to connect:
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashWebSv.exe (avast! Web Scanner)
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashMaiSv.exe (avast! e-Mail Scanner Service)
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\avast.setup (avast! Update executable). This is a temporary file that just appears when an update (check) is about to launch, and disappears again afterwards.
Don’t need rights to connect:
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashServ.exe (avast! antivirus service)
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashUpdSv.exe (avast! Update Service)
avast! doesn’t monitor the ftp protocol, but the http protocol on port 80, so I can’t see how there is an interaction with web shield.
What is your firewall ?
avast! isn’t a firewall.
