HI how is it going today avast. I was wondering if I could get your help with something. When I am on a site called grooveshark music site my orange ball in the takbar never quits it just keeps going a around and around during a song but it keeps going around every song what I would like to now is what is avast free lasted version scanning for anyways on grooveshark.com.
some information that be helpful:
Avast free 7.0.1474
All help appreciated have a great day everyone
Other information that could be helpful, if you open the avastUI, Real Time Shields, the Protection status displays a wheel with all shield activity.
Checking that will give an idea of which shield is active (most) and probably the shield at issue, the individual shield icons blink as a scan is made ?
If you hover the mouse pointer over that shield icon it will display what has been scanned. It may be that a single file/location is being constantly scanned ?
Go into settings and turn off “animate icon when scanning”. Its that easy. Grooveshark is a great site. I listen to it daily.
Well, this would stop the spinning, but not the scanning. 
Duh… 
The OP’s question was about what is being scanned, not how to stop the icon spinning.
Obviously its scanning HTTP traffic. The “a” is always spinning when a web page is loading. Since Grooveshark is a streaming music site it clearly explains the constant scanning. You dont download from Grooveshark. You merely search and stream. But if the spinning “a” bothers him he can just turn it off.
Not necessarily scanning HTTP content, it could be the script shield also, which is why I asked to try and pin down which shield it is and then what is being scanned. So we really need to wait for more feedback from the OP ‘Diddy.’
Checking it out and playing the Who’s ‘Who are you’ and it is the script shield as once the page loads there is no web or network shield only the script shield is logging activity. See image which at the time captured just after the start of track 644 scripts scanned to about 4min 30sec the scripts scanned count has risen to 1160. During that time no activity on the web shield.
No need to make mountains out of mole hills David. Its a completely legit site. Go there yourself.
Nobody ever said that the site is not legit…!! ???
How do you think I was able to do the screen captures without having gone there.
No one is saying it isn’t a legit site.
Go to Script Shield Expert Settings
Place http://grooveshark.com in the Exclusion.
Avast is just scanning the scripts.
Edit : It doesn’t completely stop the script shield but it is reduced if you check the graph.
Finally got the script scanning to stop ;D
Add http://grooveshark.com/* to the exclusions 
HI everyone I took Adventors advice and went into settings and turned off animate icon when scanning and that seems to have done the trick for now.
Thanks everyone for your advice and help
Your welcome. Glad to have helped you. 
As said before, that will just stop the spinning but not the scanning.
Anyway, if you’re happy, we’re happy as well. ;D
So I’m not the only one with this opinion. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=104401.msg854739#msg854739
