avast! Network Shield blocks any of the processes’ that want to connect to a known malware site. For example if a computer is infected and have a svchooost.exe on it (avast! doesn’t detect it), and this attempts to connect to a known malware site, then avast! will block the access. And what about alerts in cases like that?
BTW. avast! Sounds can be disabled. I disabled them because I hate them.
Sorry for my really bad English.
