Security settings

1^st check: authorise ProRealTime in your antivirus

• Open the settings window of your antivirus software

• Go to the feature⁽¹⁾ that allows you manage the list of authorised programs.

  ⁽¹⁾ This feature can have different names depending on your antivirus program (ex: "Application control", "Application firewall", "Firewall", ...). If you can't find this feature in your antivirus program, contact their customer support department in order to find the appropriate settings.

• Add the ProRealTime installation folder to the list of authorised programs.
  By default, it is installed at:

  C:\Programs\Java

  Example with Avast 2015 for Windows

  • Click on the Avast icon in the system tray to open Avast
  • Click on "Settings" > "Active Protection" > Choose "Customize" on the "File System Shield" line > "Exclusions"

  • Click "Add" and then select the ProRealTime installation folder.
    By default, it is located under:

    C:\Programs\Java

  • Click "OK" and make sure the "R", "W" and "X" boxes are checked.
  • Click on "OK" and close the Avast windows

  Avast will no longer block or slow down the execution of ProRealTime.

You should now be able to launch ProRealTime.
If you still can't launch ProRealTime, proceed to the next step.

  Windows 8 / 8.1

  Windows 7

  Windows Vista

  macOS

3^rd check: allow the ProRealTime Internet adresses

• Open the settings window of your antivirus software

• Go to the feature⁽²⁾ that allows you manage the list of authorised Internet adresses.

  ⁽²⁾This feature is called different depending on your antivirus (ex: "Web Anti-Virus", "Trusted sites", "Exclude adress", "Exclude URL", ...). If you can't find this feature in your antivirus program, contact their customer support department in order to find the appropriate settings.

• Add the following adresses to the list of authorised Internet adresses:

  http://*.prorealtime.com*

  https://*.prorealtime.com*

  http://*.it-finance.com*

  https://*.it-finance.com*

  Notice that you need to enter the adresses once with the "http" prefix and once with the "https" prefix.

  In some security softwares, you are required to specify a communication port instead of a prefix. If it is the case, allow the URLs on ports 80 & 443 (ex: *.prorealtime.com:80, *.prorealtime.com:443, *.it-finance.com:80, *.it-finance.com:443).

  Example with Avast 2015 for Windows

  • Click on the Avast icon in the system tray to open Avast
  • Click on "Settings" > "Active Protection" > Choose "Customize" on the "Web shield" line > "Exclusions"

  • Under "URLs to exclude" enter:

    http://*.prorealtime.com*

    and then click "Add"

  • Do the same for the following URLs:

    https://*.prorealtime.com*

    http://*.it-finance.com*

    https://*.it-finance.com*

  • Click on "OK" and close the Avast windows

  Avast will no longer prevent your ProRealTime platform from accessing Internet.

You should now be able to launch ProRealTime.
If you still can't launch ProRealTime, proceed to the next step.
