I was using the latest Avast before I did the Windows 8.1 Pro update and it completely wiped out Avast. Not installed and not on my drive after 8.1 was done. So I re-downloaded Avast to re-install it.
But now I wondering what is going on as the new download from today, only has 3 shields listed on the left column during a custom install. The previous had 8.
Here are the Sheilds that Avast had with Windows 8: (Avast was set to auto update program and defs)
File
Web
Mail
p2p
im
network
script
behavior
Now with the Avast installer downloaded today to install in Windows 8.1, I only see these Shields listed:
File
Web
Mail
So it appears to be missing 5 of the 8 previous shields. I really don't like that it is missing the Network and Script shields. But I really wish it wasn't missing any of the Shields. So I haven't re-installed Avast yet. Trying to learn what is going on.
Why are their only 3 shields in the latest downloaded Avast installer? Are there incompatibilities with some shields when used with Windows 8.1?
