I haven’t received a script warning yet during general browsing. In fact, I think that Script Sentry works much like Script Defender. I ran all the tests in the link above and the only thing Script Sentry gave a warning for was the macro scripts downloaded. My machine past all the tests so the browser and/or firewall has adequate defenses to at least pass these tests. I didn’t bother with the EICAR file test because I already know that Avast catches it.

A script embedded in a web page and designed to be opened should be caught be Script Sentry. I ran the esafe js file test above and ran to open the file instead of download and Script Sentry threw up a warning showing what the script would do if allowed to run.

So, as you can see. I’m still not convinced on exactly how script sentry works as far as web surfing goes.

I would like to find a test page on the net with an embedded script file set to run from the webpage before I’m convinced. Run the same webpage with Script Sentry on my machine and get someone with Avast Pro to check the same page and compare the results.
