Does Avast use registry entries in Current User..Internet Settings/Zone Maps or Local Machine...Internet Settings/Zone Maps as part of its antispyware protection?
I am trying to track down the software ownership of some "blocking" entries in these locations that in this instance do not belong to SpybotSD. Other possible owners are Zone Alarm Free Firewall 7.0.483.000 perhaps installed as part of the overall suite, even though only the Free Firewall was activated, Superantispyware (Free version) and Malwarebytes (free version). My understanding was the last two did not use this technique.
