Hi all,
You can turn webshield, but the exclusions only work on (JS, HTML, ...) detections on the domain, not the domain itself. To override URL block, you have to disable shields.
DavidR: The 2 popups that you were seeing are from AOS (Avast Online Security, the browser plugin).
"This site could have harmed your computer" is an equivalent of URL:Mal detection, AOS uses the same database for that
"This site has been marked as a phishing site" is a result of our internal phishing database, that is created (loosely) based on Mailshell, Phishtank, APWG and Cyren databases.
