Exploit Shield does not have separate section in the Avast UI. There is just a checkbox where you can enable/disable this feature. It is in troubleshooting section in settings, similar to anti-rootkit monitor.
One more thing, does Exploit Shield have its own popup or how exactly does it work when exploit is detected? Or is it connected to File Shield or Behavior Shield?
AntiTrack is a stand alone component. It will not be a part of free version. Not really sure how it works, extension for browser already has anti tracking features hm… But since it failed, I have no clue how it works…
Has avast’s new anti-exploit module been tested for compatibility/conflicts with other well-known anti-exploit programs? — specifically, with MalwareByte’s anti-exploit module and/or with Microsoft’s EMET? If there are any known conflicts, what is their resolution? (I assume the answer will be to disable/uninstall the other program…)
