Webshield problem with Comodo Dragon browser
« on: March 28, 2010, 01:52:54 PM »
HI
Iam using comodo Dragon as my default browser and when i check my Avast settings i cant see any activity in the webshield. Comodo Dragon is a very new browser but it´s similar to Google Chrome.
But Avast scanner is scanning my networktraffic even if i use Comodo Dragon and when i´m switch to Internet Explorer8 everything work as it should.
I dont wont to be unprotected when i surf the web using comodo. Can you please give me an explanation?
Iam running Comodo Dragon and Avast with Windows 7 Ultimate x86

I´ve added a picture of my proxysettings

Hi satrew, welcome to the forum :)

I am guessing that dragon hasn't been added to the webshield defaults...

There are two options,

To add the localhost proxy in the proxy options:

Localhost   
12080

or

To add the executable for dragon into the webshield.ini

Which avast! version are you using, as the instructions are different for the ini...

-Scott-

EDIT: also what is the executable for dragon?

For the proxy, you are going to add it to the comodo dragon settings, and I do not use it so I cannot direct you there....

IIRC, it is based on chrome isn't it?

If it is I may be able to find out how.

Ok, so I have discovered it is the same as chrome, so to add the proxy:

However, this may not be the way to go as it uses the pc proxy settings ???

-In the top right, click the spanner --> Options
-Click 'Under the bonnet'
-Click 'Change proxy settings' button
-Click 'LAN settings' button
-Tick the 'proxy server' option
-Enter localhost in 'address' and 12080 in 'port'

As I said, this changes the actual internet settings on the host pc, so I think this may not be the best option and it may be better with the ini option.

-Scott-

[EDIT] Oops, you already posted...Well, as I said, I am not too sure if it is the best option to change that, as I think that would change the IE settings as well...so the INI option would be better.

OK, for Win 7

-Open in notepad C:\ProgramData\Alwil Software\Avast5\webshield.ini

The programdata folder is hidden so you may have to change the setting to shoe it.

-Under [WebScanner] enter:

OptinProcess=dragon.exe

-Save and close it. You will be prompted be avast! self defense about the modification (image) click yes.

-Restart the webshield.

IIRC that was for IE in win2000 when the transparent proxy does not work...

In changing the proxy settings for dragon, it looks to have the same effect, which is why I thought it may mess up the IE connection...

If you follow the instructions to 'optin' dragon into the webshield ini it should work. It is just that dragon is not on the default list to scan...
