Sorry to cut in everyone.

I surf the wbe a quite lot via an SSH proxy/tunnel. Will the Web Shield be scanning traffic after the above lines added to avast.ini > [WebScanner] section? As the SSH tunnel is located overseas, it is like 30k dialup on my local ISP’s ADSL (d: 2mb / u: 512k), will Web Shield slow the speed of web browsing even futher. In the following thread, you claim that Web Shield has competitive edge where it does not “really” slow down web-browsing and download speed. Can you be kind to be more specific about the “really”?

Btw I have a proxy server set up in your browser, with details similar to
server: 127.0.0.1
port: 5000

My…
Browser: Firefox 1.0 / Mozilla 1.73 / IE 6 (used only for Windows Update)
Connection: ADSL (d: 2mb / u: 512k)
OS: XP Pro SP 2
Avast 4.6.603

Thanks!
