Compatibility check: Avast Pro and SSM Payware

[concerned807]

I am almost ready to jump on the boat - installing LnS. I did a quick search on this support forum, and I did not find any explicit report about incompatibility between LnS and the below security programs listed. However still I want confirmation that the current build of LnS does indeed plays well with them.

- Avast Pro 4.7
- System Safety Monitor 2.3.0.612
Both of which I have been using for long.

Two small OT questions:
1. How can I specifically block a program from connecting to the Internet? I am sure once I have LnS installed, I can figure out this easily. :p

2. Official manual available?
Are all the currently available LnS tutorials/guides the below?
- The two Stickies on this forum
- The official FAQ: http://www.looknstop.com/En/faq.htm

Thank you for your kind advices :)

For your first question, you can block when LnS prompts you, or you can add the application and then block it by clicking on the green octagon to change it to red.

The built in help file is also useful sometimes, but if you enable the start as service option the context help doesn't work, the help file has to be started manually (from start menu).

Also, this forum is great. There's usually an expert here to help, should the need arise :)
