Just thought you all would be interested to know that Avast's Web Shield doesn't seem to scan sites browsed using Google's new Chrome browser. If I open Avast's Provider Configuration window for Web Shield, and watch the "Scanned count" number while surfing with Firefox, the number increases whenever I open a new web page. But when I watch it while surfing with Chrome, it doesn't change. (The count for Standard Shield does change, however, so it's not like Avast leaves Chrome completely unprotected.)
I have just played a little with Chrome, and it seems quite a bit faster than Firefox 3 or Internet Explorer 7 (due, apparently, to a new javascript engine). If you read Google's "comic book" explanation of why they built it the way they did, some very interesting thought went into its design. This could become a popular browser, so the Avast guys may want to look into getting Web Shield working with it.
For what it's worth (not sure what), it appears from reading other forums that people who run Symantec Endpoint Protection are having trouble getting Chrome even to run. Oh well... :-)
