Yesterday I did a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit on my laptop and installed avast free version immediately after. I then installed Google Chrome as it is my browser of choice. After browsing the web for a while I looked at the avast shields and noticed that my script shield was displaying the last script scanned as “a script started by C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe,” which is odd because it typically displays the name of the website where the script came from. The shield appears to work normally but i’m a little worried that it might be bugged somehow. Has anyone else encountered this besides me?
Also, this doesn’t happen with any other browser and i’ve already re installed both avast and Chrome to no avail.
Update: I just did a clean install of Windows Vista 32-bit on my other laptop and i’m having the same issue on there as well. I really don’t know what’s going on here. I’ve searched the forums and there are plenty of posts about script shield and chrome, but no one has described anything quite like this. Is it Avast? Is it a Chrome update? My computers? Am I doing something wrong? Help?
Are you using a complete release of Chrome or a beta or a developer version? ???
I’m using the full/complete release of Chrome and do not have this issue.
Seems like something is going pretty wrong today. I just got the 130711-2 update about 15 minutes ago and the release date says it came out 6 hours ago… ???
I’m not sure how to convert Central Standard time to Central European time, but the release date says 11:56 AM and I started getting the streaming updates for it at 12:09 PM. I wasn’t actually able to detect and install the update untill 5:43 PM, which concerns me a little bit.
The streaming update will come in throughout the day and it is entirely possible that you will have streaming updates in advance of a VPS update. Fairly recently I had 5 streaming update sub-folders and only one VPS folder, but in all I had 130 streaming updates whilst awaiting a regular VPS update.
Am I overly concerned by this, no as one or the other streaming or normal vps updates should cover everything one way or another.
Yeah, as long as the streaming updates are coming in I suppose it isn’t a huge issue.
Update: Still having problems with the script shield on chrome. I decided to switch to firefox for the time being, but it is a lot slower than chrome on my already slow laptop. Hopefully this issue will be solved soon…
The issue in Chrome is with the tool-tips and not with the script shield.
The script shield shows activity. As long as it shows activity I’m not that concerned.
A slight redirect, however it seems that script shield doesn’t work with Firefox 23 on 8.0.1489, which will be officially released in about a week or so.
Any official Avast people have updated scriptshield dlls in the pipeline to address the issue? In the past, " pk " released updated script shield dll in the forum to hold people over until a official patch could be released?
Edit: Never mind it will be released in August. I got mixed up b/c Mozilla just changed the numbering on their beta builds.
That page has some major inaccuracies on it and “This page was last modified on 8 July 2013, at 09:34.” It even mentions thunderbird 24 when we are only on tbird 17. So I don’t know how reliable the information on that page is.
Firefox 22 was released on June 25th, so the week of August 6th for Firefox 23 would be consistent with Mozilla’s releasing updates every 6 weeks.
Thunderbird isn’t being maintained except for security releases, so the official releases have been for 17.x versions. If there is a future release of a fully updated Thunderbird, it will probably coincide with the next full Firefox ESR release. Development of Thunderbird has been relegated to the back burner.

Yes, it is just that there is a lot of other information on that page which is invalid, and makes you wonder on how reliable the other data is. I’m not saying it isn’t going to happen, just that that page needs a major update and get rid of the inaccuracies.[/off-topic]
