I was wondering, if my network shield is working properly. basically it says that “the provider is currently running”.
However, my internet has been on for 47 mins now and it says:
last scanned
scanned count 0
In contrast the standard shield says:
last scanned C:\aol.bin
scanned count 2345
It appears to me that the standard shield is scanning but the network shield is not.
Do i need to be worried by this?
Network Shield is not scanning but rather monitoring for attacks similar to firewall.
So you’ll see any changes/warnings only on attacks.
Don’t worry,Network Shield is doing it’s job for as long as it’s Ready and running.
I’m using Avast Home 4.8.1169. The Network Shield seems to not be working. It shows the following:
Last scanned:
Last infected:
Scanned count: 0
Infected count: 0
Task Name: Resident protection
Run time: 2:53:24
I hear others saying that its OK, its working as it should and will pop up when it detects an attack. I’m not satisfied with that statement, because I had the Web Shield doing this same thing until I found, by luck, instructions on how to set up a proxy in Firefox.
So before I actually entered the required settings for Web Shield, it too was showing the same stats as Network Shield is now, and at the time, I thought Web Shield too was working as it should, but it obviously it wasn’t.
Can you guys see my reason for concern?
Please, don’t post twice the same… just double the effort of help.
