Sometimes on my FF browser , AVAST blocks certain sites with a alert. Fair enough , but there should be a alert in case of a refresh , which was requested as a feature and is yet to find a solution…
Coming to the issue , I may not have the time to go thru the process of reporting it as a false positive or digging it from somewhere else in the quarantine to have it allowed.
I have unticked , block malware URL from the web shield. Will this prevent AVAST from disturbing my browsing…? Thanks.

Isn’t it Avast’s job to block sites that attempt to deliver malware to your system? Are you saying that somehow you’re SURE they’re not trying to do that? Web page-delivered malware is quite possibly the greatest threat to your system. Think twice before disabling your protection.
The file system shield will remain on the job, of course, but I question your desire to remove the web shield so as to allow the very same thing that you have installed Avast to block.
Ads may be attempting to deliver malware to your system, and I suggest that rather than disabling your web shield, perhaps an additional anti-malware solution, such as the one found here, might be helpful to you:
That is right. But I may just not be sure of AVAST’s jurisdiction of this site and may want to explore without downloading anything. To an extent user could have a say regarding sites which could be changing after all. Perhaps the situation that existed a week ago could have changed.
And also having a backup protection that prevents any malware is better than preempt anything which IMHO is another superfluous addition…
