"Network" Shield?
« on: May 06, 2009, 04:49:08 PM »
Greetings.

I did a search here to no avail.

Does the "Network" Shield need to be running, if I am not on a "Network"?  Or is my query here over-simplified?


Thanks in advance,
123...

Yes. The network shield protects the computer connected to Internet network ;)

It doesn't have anything to do wit actually being on a network (I'm not either) and I would say it is an essential element of your security.

Did you check the avast Help file ?

See image extract of help file, it also provides protection against malicious web sites.
