Title: Does Avast Webshield work with look'n'stop firewall 2.0.6 ?
Post by: carioca on September 23, 2007, 08:45:15 PM
 ???
Does Avast Webshield work with look'n'stop firewall 2.0.6 without any conflicts? Do I have to set it up some special configuration table? Because I have a lifetime look'n'stop firewall and It works smoothly with most av scanners that I have already tested. I would appreciate some clues about it. I'm concerned about it because I've read webshield doen'st work with comodo cfp. Perhaps may conflict with look'n'stop fw.Best Regards.

It should work... avast is not a firewall and shouldn't conflict with strict firewall behavior.
Are there any special features (like cookies management, privacy, etc.) in this firewall?

Ridiculous... it works both on XP and Vista, no problems.

I don't know where you have read it, but the only thing I'm aware of is with the version 3 beta of comodo firewall where it is comodo that breaks the web shield redirect. The current regular release is no problem. And there is a work around for those using the beta version 3 of the comodo firewall.

As far as I'm aware there are no conflicts with Look'n'Stop and avast other than it doesn't get very good ratings in some firewall tests.

It works perfectly on vista. No problems with WebShield.
