I’ve been with avast! for ages, but i never really asked anyone from the team if this is actually true or not.
I’m specifically interested in Auto Sandbox detection capabilities if you remove Web Shield, Network Shield, Script Shield and Behavior Shield but keep the File System Shield (where Auto Sandbox is attached to it). Will Auto Sandbox exhibit the same detection capabilities or will removal of Network Shield and Behavior Shield cripple it horribly since it would then have no ability to monitor URL’s and apps behavior. Or are these shields just a visual part of the mentioned “engines” and removing them doesn’t actually remove that functionality from the Auto Sandbox itself (even though those shields are in fact not installed)?
Hi :), i think they won’t answer you here, better PM him. If they told you something please post as i also want to know are these shield an independent modules or just a GUI. :
And why wouldn’t they answer here? It’s not any kind of secret if anyone can doo it when installing avast!. The thing is, i know a lot of people who remove half of the shields, but no one really knows if that affects protection or not. So, if it does, it would be good to know. Maybe people will stop removing shields then…
