Title: Behavior shield..
Post by: gtafanboy on April 01, 2010, 12:37:14 AM

does that thing even work? It hasnt scanned a single thing on my pc, which im not worried about because i know my pc is clean. But i thought id test it out on a Virtual Machine and got it infected, i let avast 5 run for a couple days and didnt detect a single thing.

Im not even sure if it searched anywhere...

So are there ways to make it more effective, or it just a dud?

If your using a 64 bit OS its not functional yet. Possibly in 5.1?
