Hello Castayr.
Yes, that’s what I was actually thinking, only the wording on the Script Shield panel is ambiguous if that is the case.
File System Shield is scanning local scripts, I can see that, because sessionstore.js is always shown as scanned after I’ve open Firefox. However, the Script Shield ‘shield log’ is always empty, and there is never anything ‘current’ shown as scanned when I look, and yet the script shield statistics show a tall peak in scanning on the same days as the File System Shield, and also shows scripts scanned as 804 total, 463 max, 2008 average. This is very curious. I don’t run Internet Explorer as a rule, well not unless I really have to (usually when I visit MS sites for updates to save having to validate in Firefox before downloading tools and software) and as it has been stated by those in the know that Script Shield doesn’t yet support FF I’m wondering what exactly is being scanned by Script Shield.
It really would be good to know what exactly Script Shield does (and what it doesn’t), and the differences between File System Shield local script scanning and Script Shield local script scanning. Maybe Script Shield script scanning is totally browser related, in that it scans only scripts run inside browsers…perhaps that’s it. But then the wording needs to reflect that because at the moment it is confusing.
