Webshield seems pretty pointless when you are using a browser like Opera anyway...
Indeed, like nightshade said, I don't understand your statement...
Do you really know how WebShield works?
I could be wrong, but if I had to guess, I THINK that the Poster, davews could conceivably be referring to that Opera ... is NOT the HUGE Main Target for Viruses and other Malware that
IE is.
And don't shoot the messenger. I'm just taking a
guess as to what the Poster might have been alluding. Sure, way less Malware is targeted at Opera & Firefox, but they're NOT immune.
In MY case, I'd like to be able to use the Web Shield with Opera, but when I do, the pages don't quite load in their entirety. There IS a very much decent, functional rendition of the pages, but I just get irked seeing pages NOT displayed in their entirety. It just annoys me. So, I disabled the Web Shield after my brief experiment. But YES, IF avast! were to fix it to where the Web Shield does work properly with Opera, then YES ... I'm Game. I'm In.
