How do I put bad site block list in Avast?

Hello Danny,

Avast does not have site advisor like McAfee and AVG. You should check out WOT (Web of Trust). I have used both wot and McAfee site advisor. AVG also has a free program called link scanner.  You can download McAfee site advisor for protection against vulnerable sites and have avast as antivirus.

Regards,

Ronald M Peterson.
