BehaviorShield protection missing in version 9.0.2006
« on: October 17, 2013, 08:54:59 PM »
i noticed that  there is no Behavior shield  in version 9.0.2006

how is can it protect from registry changes like start up  or other malicious changes in registry


i don't know why you would not have a behavior shield

this layer of protection is needed for today's threats


thank you

The avast shields are now broken down into areas, so they have been combined into three main areas/shields and the previous shields they have been consolidated into those three shields, File System Shield, Web Shield and Mail Shield.

See:

There is no behavior shield, the settings are included in the file shield now.
For extra protection avast now has deepscreen, which is stronger than the old autosandbox.

Check out the in-program help file and here.  8)

Behavior shield is now a part of file shield.  They are integrated.  There are no seperate settings for behavior shield.  File shield settings are what you use now.
