Since upgrading IE from 10 to 11 (on Win7x64 Pro SP1), I've noticed that avast 8's Script Shield --- which used to be the most active of all my shields --- is no longer doing anything related to IE11. Nor, for that matter, is it registering anything when FF 25.0.1 runs.
On another system (XP Pro SP3), there is likewise no Script Shield activity showing for FF 25.0. But there *IS* Script Shield activity for IE8 --- meaning the Script Shield IS working (in general).
Can any users of avast 8 confirm or deny the same lack of Script Shield activity for IE 11 (Win 7) or FF 25 (XP or Win7)?
To anticipate questions, yes, I have IE+FF checked under Script Shield. They are NOT excluded under behavior shield. I have even tried a repair (on Win7), which changed nothing.
At this time, I am looking specifically for avast 8 confirmation or refutation of these results --- and if confirmed, a possible solution --- rather than responses advising me to upgrade to 2014.
