Some of my downloads get blocked (and discarded) when I disable online shields. Why?
More information please, what download, what location ?
By blocked do you mean avast alerts, If so can you attach a screenshot of the avast alert window ?
Different files from uploaded, depositfiles, etc. get blocked by Avast during download due to “virus or corruption”. Uploader told me nothing’s wrong with the files.
Did you intend to say “… when I disable online shields”?
I would hardly expect an uploader to say anything else - without the malware name given I have no idea why there was an alert.
Many could be poor file reputation, e.g. where it was downloaded from, the prominence of its use by other avast users, etc. If the file hash is on the avast cloud database or not, if the file is digitally signed or not, etc.
That is why we ask for details as any answer we give would be purely speculative.
