Does Avast! pick up malicious code from gadgets?

Is this something that Script Shield can usefully do?

what do you mean by gadgets?

Windows sidebar gadgets off to the right side that microsoft added in Vista/7 or at least those are the only ones that I know.

Well recently Microsoft have removed support for gadgets, as A) they say they are vulnerable and B) they are concentrating on apps for windows 8 and are actively trying to get the gadget designers to start working on win8 gadgets.
