4.6 Home: does "Web Protect" work ?

[Asunción]

I have "Web Protect" activated. But under "Latest File Checked" / "Latest Infection" there is never an entry / url.
I wonder why.

Thank you !

Which is your Windows? Which browser do you use?
Do you have any other antivirus in your computer? Any other security program intalled?
Which firewall do you use? ashWebSv.exe is allowed to connect?
Without info we can't help you...

ok, thanks !

Which is your Windows? Which browser do you use?

= win98se / firefox

Do you have any other antivirus in your computer? Any other security program intalled?

= no / only FRITZ!WEBProtect (a kind of firewall)

ashWebSv.exe is allowed to connect?

Did you configured your Web browser to work with the Web Shield?
Here's a link with more info how to do it -> http://avast.com/eng/faq-home-webshield.html

FAQ about WebShield: http://www.avast.com/eng/webshield_issues.html#idt_6874
Or the link posted by XMAS.

You'll have to set up your browser to use the WebShield port (12080).
More info here: http://www.avast.com/eng/webshield_issues.html#idt_6870

ashWebSv.exe is the WebShield executable.
Each time you try to browse it will scan the internet traffic.
But it should be allowed to connect into FRITZ!WEBProtect firewall.
