Manual blocking of urls with Avast Premier
« on: November 26, 2016, 10:17:19 PM »
Sorry, I've looked through the FAQs and can't find specific instructions on how to block urls annoying me with pop-up videos.  Just point me to the appropriate topic in your information concerning this issue and I'll read through it.  I suspect this activity to be under the Firewall, but not sure.  I use Mozilla and have tried various plug-ins to remedy this situation but they either don't work or cause other problems I don't wish to deal with. 

Windows 10 64 bit   Avast Premier

Thanks in advance,
BAB
