      Asher, how are AdAware and Bitdefender in comparison?

        The irony of this whole situation is, as nye says, AVG is the actual spyware. All we're trying to do is educate children.
        I'm more inclined to side with AVG's assessment of your software as spyware.

          AVG doesn't view it as spyware. They have a blanket policy on the whole computer regardless of who is doing it.

            They don't interfere with my software, that's all I know.

                The reason for that is this is an extremely common venue for exploits of all kinds. Especially with computers that aren't well maintained.

                There's surely got to be a better way, Asher.

                    Actually, blocking websockets to prevent viruses is more akin to setting a speed limit on a highway to prevent drunk driving deaths.
