MBAM PRO keeps on blocking avastsvc.exe. avastsvc.exe is already in my MBAM's ignore list.

please help 

Strange, it doesn't block avastsvc.exe on my win7 netbook with MBAM Pro and avast 6.0.1125 free and I have no exclusions for avast in MBAM other than excluding the c:\windows\temp\_avast_ folder where files are unpacked for scanning.

What do you mean by blocking ?
Can you post the log or blocking details or post an image of any details.

@ SafeSurf
It is MBAM Pro doing the blocking of avast and not the other way around. So adding mbam exclusions in avast won't change that.

I also haven't excluded any MBAM location or file in avast either and I haven't had any issue.

The MBAM warning is not blocking avast processes, it is blocking warning of some other connection trying to get out of you system, it only has the avastsvc.exe in the warning because all traffic to and from your system goes through avast.
You are better off reporting this on the MBAM forums and see what they have to say.

That isn't blocking avastsvc.exe it is blocking access to the IP address (ShellFusion.net), part of the MBAM Protection tab, the malicious website blocking option and one area were many believe it has most of its issues (possible FPs).

The avast Web Shield filters http traffic through its localhost proxy so it can be scanned. This is controlled by the avastsvc.exe file and that is why avastsvc.exe appears in the listing, it isn't blocking the process but the

yup i've read it in the MBAM forum. Thanks guys.

hmmm,,, is there any problem then? is my Avast okay?

You're welcome.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with avast (can't speak for mbam) it is doing what it should filter http traffic so that it can be scanned and protect your system.
