Script Shield and Firefox speed on a W7 SP1 x64

Now using Firefox 7.0 Beta 4 and Chrome 13.x.

In only about two days of using both ISTM that Firefox 7.0 Beta 4 is faster than Chrome 13.x.
Of course I could just be imagining that :o

In the real world it seems to render Java script faster than Chrome. 
On the other hand Chrome appears to heads over tails better than Firefox with respect to video play.

I have not noticed any slowdown in Firefox 7.0 Beta 4 used alongside Avast 6.0.1289 with all the real-time shields enabled.

In fact I would say that FF 7.0 Beta 4 appears to their fastest real world version yet. 8)

Just updated from previous beta without a scratch! :D Looks like I wasn't listened when I asked for the numbers in the sane yellow coloured area in the graphs (when you point over your mouse) of the statistic feature in the GUI to be coloured black instead than white since I can hardly see them... :'(

Update total downer for me.

Since hitting that update button I´m getting a Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Bluescreen of Death on my WinXP(SP3).  ???

Already tried uninstalling(properly with your cleaner tool and CCleaner even) and reinstalling.
But it´s always the same.
Without AVAST everything fine. After AVAST -> bluescreen.

Hello,

I'm wondering if there's any Online Armor user out there who reads this main thread. Just in case, could you please take a look at this other thread I started about Firefox 6 and the Script Shield: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=84334.0

Thanks so much in advance. I just need to be sure that OA is not part of the problem I'm having with the Script Shield.

If I'm not supposed to post this message here, I'm sorry - please delete it.

perfect job! Thx for update!

But big white button on the pop-up update notification - looks like alien! Can you do it in style "mark as a false alarm" in the notifications of threats?
:)

We complained about that ugly white button but they disregarded our opinion unfortunately.
I just disabled that ugly popup completely because of it.
do you mean enable the game mode ?
or edit with resourcehack and delete the white button from the pop up ?

Ran a quick scan after updating to v 6.0.1289 and no problems noted.
Script Shield working like it should.

Using Windows XP - SP 3.

Please not another set of death by poll, it will serve little purpose as those visiting the forums represents a very small minority of the 132,414,749 active users worldwide. Not to mention those that don't like it have already made that pretty clear and Vlk has responded to those comments in the beta builds.

Anyone that would go back to an earlier version just because of aesthetics is cutting off their nose to spite their face IMHO. When the changes in this program update include stability fixes, it would be crazy to dump those because of aesthetics.

I think he meant unchecking "Show notification box after automatic update" in Settings -> Update -> Details.

Hello

Ever since the "Update 6.0.1289" I've had to manually update the program version and then I'm told to restart my computer, as in the maintenance section the last updating attempt still hasn't occurred. I'm using the Avast Free version and am fully registered. This started a couple of days ago could someone please help.

Gonna update now.
 
Seems fine and I actually see script shield activity in IE9 on Win 7 64. ;D

Now for the bad news. There is no Script Shield activity in Chrome.  :(

No activity from Windows Media Player either.

I thought it said during the beta that it would be but now I see that it said "coming soon". Aside from that, why does it now not show activity for WMP when it used to? It seems to me that the Script Shield has been restricted rather than enhanced as was advertised.
