[QUOTE="Deleted member 2913, post: 542130"] I would advice novices to not enable WebShield option "Warn downloading files with poor reputation". I have talked quite a few times on Avast forum & with Rejzor on Wilders too on "Warn downloading files with poor reputation" & "Hardened Mode" i.e those options & Windows Updates. "Warn downloading files with poor reputation" may block/warn on Windows Updates files And average users could be in prob like the recent Avast & Win 10 updates prob i.e it was due to "Warn downloading file............" option enabled by the user & aborting the connection on the alert by the users. I too have experienced it blocking Windows Updates when I use to run Avast with the option enabled. Hardened Mode would not affect Windows Updates or guess nothing reported as such or as per Rejzor would not affect Windows Updates especially "Aggressive Mode" as it uses Avast Whitelist And Rejzor has systems with Hardened Mode enabled "Aggressive Mode" & never experienced it.
