Script Shield working or not?

[system]

I just updated to the new version of Firefox 4, and I have seen this topic multiple times here, but I need to know if the Script Shield is protecting me if I am using Firefox?

I never see anything there in the script shield traffic, I see it in the general tab statistics and when I use Windows Media Player but in the script shield traffics I never see the bars that something is happening as it does in statistics.

Am I being protectected when I browse the internet from malicious scripts?

Advise…rm

No problems here with XP’s but then I use IE8.

I would suggest reading this whitepaper: Blocking internet threats: the avast! script engine

Script Shield

This module watches all[b] Windows Scripting Host (WSH[/b]) scripts being executed in the operating system and scans all the scripts (both remote and local)[b] run as part of a web page within the Windows Scripting Host or Internet Explorer[/b].
