Hi Avast readers and writers,
Avast Web Shield is super fast and can only provide extra protection to that of their Standard Shield.
To any who don’t use a resident Email Sanner. Email attachments are best saved, before any viewing.
For W98SE Avast Web Shield users:
Using W98SE it’s essential every browser used is set to local host 12080 to enable Web protection…
My regards
PS The above is my understanding of my readings here and elsewhere. Any corrections are welcome.

Pages 3,4 are good reads.
Personally I don’t use the webshield as I am not convinced it currently adds any significant protection over the usual realtime scanner offered by most AV’s.
I must admit… the nature of some of the responses intrigues me. While Kyles’s persistence may come across as a little annoying… he is asking a very valid question. There is sometimes too much emotion in responses than actual useful information. Most security is just commonsense anyway.
Read Igor’s answers…
Thank you richo, and the other users on avast! forums.
