Block url and keywords
« on: October 17, 2016, 06:52:56 PM »
Hello all

I just bought Avast Premier, install on Win 7 and try to see how to block a website.

According insruction on we I used:
- Settings
- General
- Exclusions
- URL Tab and try:
- *youtube*
- http://*youtube*
- https://*youtube.com*

So none of this works.

Somebody woul help on how to block by url or by words ?

Thank you very much

Exclusions aren't for blocking, but to exclude the URL from being scanned.

What you want is the avastUI > Settings > Components > Web Shield > Customise > Site Blocking.
