Hei

Why does the script module Avast only scans in Internet Explorer ?

Why not scan in Firefox ?

[Hermite15]

not compatible with FF, has been mentioned a million times.

[Henrique - RJ]

So Firefox has no protection ?

Thanks !!!

[Hermite15]

So Firefox has no protection ?

Thanks !!!

don't jump blindly to conclusions, FF has tens of other protections

- avast web shield
- avast network shield
- NoScript extension but reading the content of your posts here, I don't advise you to even think about it.

So Firefox has no protection ?

Thanks !!!

You misunderstood what is said, the web shield and other shields work with firefox as normal, the script shield is something else again. So you still have the same level of protection as you did in the past.

[Henrique - RJ]

Avast certainly has some protection to Firefox.

Test the module the behavior with the PC Flank Leaktest and see how Avast that makes the browser is open:

you do know that avast free has no firewall, right?

[Henrique - RJ]

Right !

But Avast should prevent this tool open IE and can not.

Fact !

[Henrique - RJ]

I came back ...

I just run HijackThis 1.99 and Avast allowed run while being a unknown application.

This is a risky behavior in case of malware.

Avast needs to be improved.

Thanks
