I have unticked , block malware URL from the web shield. Will this prevent AVAST from disturbing my browsing…?
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:

Good luck.
