NetworkShield will scan incoming packets and warns you
Not if the packages are already blocked by a firewall as is the case on my system ;D

You can update to 4.5.523 but it should be there.
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > avast! antivirus > Remove
Then choose Change function in the popup window
See if the providers are correctly added.

Neron, you first need to update to the latest build.
It is not possible to add/remove the program components before this step.

Can I ask a question Vlk. I also keep getting the DCOM Exploit message alot.
So Avast is keeping this from entering?I didn't get the message till it went to the 4.5.Also do I need a firewall with dial up?

You did not receive this message before because earlier versions do not have Network Shield which is the provider giving you the DCOM exploit message.
You can disable the message and continue protected (see the provider settings).

About the firewall, you always need one  ;). I suggest: Outpost, Sygate or ZoneAlarm.

This thread might be old, but I just found it now so sorry ^_~

I thought NOD32 (ESET) claimed their AV product prevented Sasser through heuristics.  Or, do they mean here that it didn't detect it coming through on the network, but the PC became infected and Nod32 cleaned it up? Since this is kind of contradicting to your statements on why heuristics won't work in network shield.

IMHO:

I'd say NOD32-Heuristics could detect the transferred Sasser-FILE(s)
- on-Access
- without specific new signatures
- AFTER the Exploit/attack succeeded and the worm-file was written to HD, but
- BEFORE the Worm was executed, so it would not install or spread

So a system protected by NOD32 was not "infected", but the initial network-attack could not have been blocked (as avast's Shield now does it)
