Avast Home, ( but I’m thinking of trying the Pro.)

I’m using the Pro version.

Depends what kind of surfing you do. If you’re ‘adventurous’, or have family members that might be…!), the Script scanning is invaluable, so go for ‘Pro’.

Hi folks,

Jem, Script scanning of webpages is more powerfull than the scan of the WebShield module?

Script module works scanning every single script executed in the computer -I see it for example when launching Windows Media Player-, but what exactly scan the WebShield??

Thanks.

WebShield scans ALL http (Internet) traffic (each file transfered) and scans it before the file is saved in your computer, on any application that uses http at port 80.
ScriptBlock scans all scripts running into the supported browsers: Internet Explorer, Netscape and Mozilla (not Firefox).

Hi Tech thanks for the aid :smiley:

Pro on my computer, because I sometimes use this computer for work. Home on my mother’s computer, as well as on my daughter’s. I am hoping to learn more so I can take advantage of some of the additional configurability of the Pro version, even though I did not purchase it for that feature.
