But added more than the standard: DLLs, OCXs.
They're scanned as text (binary files) and I don't think this will help that much.
Also CLASS, scripts, web-pages extensions, JS, SWF and other binary types...
If this is a part of WebShield scanning, why do you do that? Let them to WebShield...
1) Are you saying all extra extensions addad to the standard shield is scanned as TXT files only? Why is the default list full of binary files then? I have only added some types to the allreday existing list...
2) Probably becuase webshield is quite new. I have used avast! longer.
AND: What if a JS, SWF or similar file is copy from somwere else (a CD)
WebShield only scan port 80 traffic. I can get a SWF or JS file on CD too.
If you don't have that in the list then, it won't be scanned, right... ?
Do you have a setup for Standard Shield that scans all binary files and possible script files (very tight) but no unneeded files as an example?
BTW: I'll add my settings (from the Avast4.xml file (or Avast4.mdb)).
