Problem with the webshield.
When I open a web-page that is using flash, the webshield starts scanning but never stops.
Not even when I have closed all tabs.

Only after closing the browser entirely the webshield stops scanning.

Hi Eddy,

thanks for your feedback.
I would like to check this interesting issue, can you write me on which web page appear this behavior?

thanks a lot

Vladimir
btw: How did you recognize that webshield is scanning?

I did some testing.

The webshield definitely is causing pages (especially with flash and/or video content) loading slowly.
It makes video (like on Youtube) stuttering.

I have found out that avast keeps scanning while I have Mirc open although no conversations are taking place.
When I close Mirc or minimize it to the tray avast stops scanning.

I have tried to configure similar configuration as you (Mirc openend, streaming video in opera)
and result is “no shield activity”. See attachment.
Could you please test it one more again and take a screenshot of your avast statistics window?

Thanks
vladimir

I have installed the 2015 RC2 and the problem with the webshield seem to have been solved.
So far no more stuttering video’s on e.g. Youtube.

For Mirc, it seems that the file shield is causing it.
