I was using Kazaa and while downloading a file I got no warning from avast and none when it was finished :o. I always right click scan every file from Kazaa before i open it then it found the virus it is currently in virus chest I tried to repair but failed. Virus Description: Win32:Sddrop [Wrm]
Resident protection is set to high.
What is the filename extension of that file?
Do you have the P2P shield enabled?
eTrust_EZ_anti-virus.exe (it seems to be a file everyone wants so i thought i would download it so my Kazaa Rank would go up. :)) P2P shield is active

I’m an avast! Pro user. I’m a little bit confused, does the home version has p2p Shield? I suppose that only Profesional has it. :-\
Profession Edition includes also:
- Script blocking. It checks scripts contained in the web pages you look at, thus avoiding infection due to potential bugs in your web browser
- Instant Messaging. It checks the files downloaded by common communication programs, such as ICQ or MSN Messenger
- P2P Shield. It checks the files downloaded by common P2P (file sharing) programs, such as Kazaa and others
it says p2p shield is ACTIVE. it was installed so it must be in home
Hey, Mac, no ofense… ;D
I’m just confused and want some explanation from the avast! team
in my opinion you are the team 8)
Definitevely not… I’m an user like you… I just started before.
Anyway, sometime in the past I thought that I have to join the team ;D
Maybe Igor can tell my story… I translated avast! into my language so I have to learn and read a lot of it.
Let’s wait some answer from Igor, Vlk, pk, Pavel, vojtech, kubecj… They are the real avast! team.
it is available in HE since ver. 4.1.260 http://www.avast.com/i_idt_1023.html
