That's not to say I don't want to be able to turn this back on, just that it's not as big a need as it sounds once you know that k9 helps in that area as well. For the most part, OpenDNS and k9 both block sites that like to shove malware on your computer, so I don't consider that a huge need from Avast. Restricted access: some websites can be limited by using password. Easy: filter and create a list of websites your children can access. Simple: this softwa can limit the time when your children spend on the Internet. I've just decided to turn off Avast's web shield for now. Use: about 70 websites can be blocked especially those containing pornography, gambling, and violence.
#K9 WEB PROTECTION BLUE SCREEN UPDATE#
I wish they would put out the promised update to fix it soon, but I understand that those of us using k9 are a small audience compared to all Avast users.

SWG VA can be used to control, protect, and monitor the Internal Networks.

Freezing up the entire computer, however, is not something that should ever happen no matter how many antivirus/antimalware/parental control programs you have running.Īvast has already said that they know what is causing the problem in their software. BLUETOUCH, the Blue Coat shield, K9, and Solera Networks logos and other Blue. Using more than one service that monitors low level network traffic can certainly cause some odd behavior, particularly slowing things down with 2 different processes asking to have a look at each packet every time. It's also a lot easier to route around than k9 is. It doesn't do anywhere near as good a job as k9 does.

I use it together with k9 on every computer in my home.
