@ jefferson santiagI have no idea what you are trying to achieve here , but it isn't relevant to the OPs question. The url string you gave is for the webrep accessing avast.com for site information and that won't exclude Adobe Contribute. Use of the crop feature in your image editor wouldn't go amiss with these massive images (even if they were correct).
@ JoeWood I'm having problems with my site editor, Adobe Contribute. I'm not able to Publish new content. I'm thinking Avast Free might be blocking it from Publishing the new content I've added.
is there any place in Avast I can put Contribute in as an Exception? Maybe in one of the Shields?
With your site editor are you working off-line then uploading to your site ?
How is this uploading done, ftp program upload or internal upload function within Adobe Contribute ?
Are you getting any errors displayed ?
I know nothing about Adobe Contribute editor other than what I have googled:
Adobe® Contribute® 6.5 software is a powerful web publishing and website management tool that integrates authoring, reviewing, and publishing in an easy-to-use WYSIWYG HTML editor. Increase web publishing productivity while simplifying oversight and approval tasks. Contribute 6.5 also includes support for HTML5 and JQuery mobile.
This sort of answers my question 2 it is using HTML then it would be redirected through the web shield local proxy.
Two options:
1. in the Web Shield, Expert Settings, Main Settings, check the 'Scan traffic from well-known browser processes only,' see image1.
2. in the Web Shield, Expert Settings, Exclusions, scroll down to the Processes to exclude and enter the full path to the Adobe Contribute executable.
The second option is the better of the two as it doesn't prevent other non-browsers or not well-known browsers from having their http traffic scanned, protecting your system.
