most likely add on incompatibilities but got to where it would not even load so I ran a script, removed and reinstalled
got a message that (and some others including a google privacy app) Avast onlnie whatever is not compatible with advanced protection mode
so does avast recommend advanced protection mode or not?
advanced protection mode is currently disabled
The only warning I received had to do with the Google Toolbar. No problem with avast! ???
Avast’s browser protection module does not function with the advance protection mode enabled.
what then is recommended
ms advanced protection
or
Avast browser protection mode
I’ve reset ie
ms fixit found nothing
Personally I’d use the avast protection module and untick the advanced protection, I’m fairly sure that the advanced protection only relates to some protection feature between the IE Modern/Metro browser and Apps.
Hopefully avast are looking into making it compatible with the Advanced Protection Mode as it is going to be enabled by default once IE11 is released.
Nice bit of info, thanks Craig.

Enhanced protection mode locks IE down fairly tight

Enhanced Protected ModeEnhanced Protected Mode is a new feature in Internet Explorer 10. It works by extending the existing Protected Mode functionality to help prevent attackers from installing software, accessing personal information, accessing information from corporate Intranets, and from modifying system settings. To do this, Enhanced Protected Mode must reduce some of the capabilities available to Internet Explorer, including:
•Restricting access to personal assets. Restricts Internet Explorer from locations that contain your personal information until you grant permissions to it. This helps prevent unauthorized access to your personal information.•Restricting access to corporate assets. Restricts access to valuable information on your corporate network resources by controlling access through the following tab processes:
◦ Not allowing Internet tab processes to have access to a user’s domain credentials.
◦ Not allowing Internet tab processes to operate as local web servers.
◦ Not allowing Internet tab processes to make connections to intranet servers.
All the more reason avast needs to make there Browser Protection Module compatible then as really neither should be disabled after reading that, in the mean time though until there is compatibility do you think The browser Protection Module is the best option Martin?
Of the two I would probably go for the Enhanced mode if I was using social networking sites, as it will not allow flash to run, unless you select to allow it on a per run basis
But as I do not use those sites then I am happy with the Avast protection
I just tested it and flash from youtube isn’t blocked, is it only social networking sites that flash is disabled as I don’t use those either ???
Maybe my firewall ( Outpost )l might be preventing it from asking for permission as I have it set to block Scripting ActiveX
I’m running avast! 8.0.1492 and it also doesn’t cure the problem.
Enhanced Protection Mode also kills other items like:
The Google Toolbar, Classic Explorer Bar (If you’re using ClassicShell)
conflict with 64 bit mode also
