Title: Script Scanning for MYIE2 (and other IE shell browsers)?
Post by: Kobra on June 07, 2004, 04:26:14 PM: Just curious, I use MYIE2, and absolutely love it, especially after testing 8 different browsers. I noticed when I load regular IE, I get Avasts script protection splash screen. But when I load MYIE2, I don't get it. Does that mean MYIE2 isn't supported?

http://www.myie2.com/

This is a very popular browser, along with the other IE engine offshoots like Avant, SlimBrowser and Netcaptor. So I really hope Avast has support, or they can add support.

So my question is, without a splash screenloading, am I right to assume Avast isn't watching scripts in these products? Can support be added for them, or at least MyIE2? I need the power of MyIE2, but I totally hate Mozilla, so hopefully the answer is yes.. LOL!

Regards.

The splash screen is not displayed because this specific thing relies on a hack in IE, but the script scanner itself should work in MyIE without any problems. To verify, please double click the avast tray icon, click "Details >>", scroll to the Script Blocker privider in the left hand side list, and check its "Scan Count" value. If it is non zero, it is picking up stuff...

Post by: RejZoR on June 07, 2004, 05:06:01 PM: I use Opera which is unsupported for now (hope not forever ;) ) but i still get scanned some scripts. Usually when i use Windows Media Player which seems to be connected to IE in some way :)
Also lots of stuff in windows itself is scanned over Script Blocker :)

The free edition doesn't have it, no?

Post by: Amerk_5 on June 08, 2004, 12:48:29 AM: I use Script Defender (http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/system/sdefend.htm) from Analogx (which is free) with avast! Home Ed.

Here's the list of scripts I have it set to block. I broke it into 2 lines because it's so long. Just combine the 2 lines with no spaces, paste it in the SD window & click Install Intercepts.

Code: [Select]
.OCX,.COM,.SYS,.DLL,.CHM,.CMD,.CPL,.MSC,.MSI,.JS,.JSE,.PIF,.MSG,.MSG,.SCR,
Code: [Select]
.INF,.INS,.ISP,.CRT,.LNK,.REG,.SCT,.WSC,.BAT,.VBS,.VBE,.HTA,.WSF,.WSH,.SHS,.SHB

Post by: Amerk_5 on June 09, 2004, 08:32:38 AM: After looking at the settings for the Standard Shield, specifically the Blocker tab, Script Defender may not be needed.

I haven't had a chance to play around with it yet but I currently have all boxes under Blocked Operations checked, Deny the operation if unable to ask checked and the following extensions in the Addditional extensions box.

Code: [Select]
CRT,HTA,INF,INS,ISP,JS,JSE,LNK,MSC,MSG,MSI,PIF,REG,SCT,SHB,SHS,VBS,VBE,WSC,WSF,WSH

Post by: Amerk_5 on June 10, 2004, 02:22:57 AM: I've already got most of those covered. I forgot to mention that I've also got the "Default extension set" box checked too.

The only ones I don't have listed are HTM* & WS?
