Web shield intercept Windows Live Family Safety site blocking on XP

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hello,

This issue has reported in Japanese forum. I also confirmed this issue.

Maybe some compatibility issue with Web shield (redirect module?), Windows Live Family Safety (Site Filtering) does not work with avast Web shield enabled.
The only way I can find is disable Web shield or clear redirect ports (both mean no web-shield scanning).

OS : Windows XP Pro SP3
avast : 5.0.677 / 5.1.857 beta both Free

I tried these techniques, nothing works :frowning:

  • Set IE proxy to localhost:12080 with WS redirect port cleared
  • “Ignore Local communication” checked / unchecked
  • Add “fssvc.exe” to “OptinProcess”

Any ideas?

Sorry, NON, but I know nothing about Windows Live Family Safety.

Hopefully, someone else here will have some ideas.

CharleyO thanks for the response.

I found old (10 month old) topics related to this but this issue is not solved…
Does someone know how to solve this?
