No, although I have neither Vista or the Pro version it should work with Vista, but it is more a browser dependant issue than OS. The script blocker works with 3 browsers, IE, Mozilla (not firefox) and Netscape.

So which browser/s are you using ?

By not working, what exactly do you mean (not enabled in the avast providers, etc. what) ?
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

You don't say what browsers you have tried, as I said it only runs on the three browsers I stated and that is the same for XP so I have no idea how it would have worked on firefox as it isn't a supported browser.

Impossible... Script Blocker cannot work with Firefox: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=14879.msg125840#msg125840
It works on XP/Vista but only with the browsers posted by David on #1 reply.

Script blocker doesn't even work in IE7 on vista when protected mode is enabled in the iIE security settings.

I wish Alwil do something... If Script Blocker is a difference between Pro and Home, this difference is eliminated on Vista.
