I understand what a provider is - Web Shield, Standard Shield, Script Blocking, P2P Shield etc etc..
In my original post I clearly stated "When I start a Spy Sweeper scan the avast! script blocker pops up" so I'm suprised that there could be any confusion about which provider I was referring to.
I understand that the script blocker provider only works with browsers which is why I asked my original question - WHY does script blocker pop up when I start Spy Sweeper? Spy Sweeper is not a browser, it is an anti spyware program.
If anyone knows why this occurs please let me know.
Thanks!
