malware URLs

[avastuser2611]

Hi ! I want to know how Avast blocks the malware URLs.
for instance, what are the URLs which are blocked?
and how avast behaves when it detects Malware URLs?
thanks in advance.

There is no list that you can refer to or add to as such, it is contained in the VPS signatures.

You get a visual alert at the bottom of the screen, no audible alert or pop-up window like the conventional alert when a virus is detected (after all there is no detection), see image example. Depending on your browser you may get a error pop-up like page not found, etc. because it has been blocked.

thank you so DavidR, I like Avast and it’s the first and the last anti-virus I’ve used, that’s why I like to discover everything about it
many thanks again DavidR
