Looks like Avast 7 will get it right:

avast 7 is really going to have some amazing features and looks like they are having.... advanced heuristics scanning and analysis done in the sandbox when it detects suspicious or unknown files.... avast 7 also comes with cloud protection and an improved behaviour shield  cant wait to test the final and beta version

However, adavnced sandboxing features will only be available in the paid versions :(

No sense crying about it...  ;D
If those features are something that you can't live without, simply purchase the paid
version of your choice.  :)

Maybe you should learn how to use Spell Check and also that IE9 is really good on WIN 7 x64 SP1 Home Premium.

Come on, maybe he just didn't notice the typo. However, I would like to know why he uses IE8 on Win7 when 9 is so much better in every way.

Must be a slow day when your complaining about my spelling :P

I will be converting to IE9 soon. Been waiting for it to "mature."

thats a really long big leap for avast paid versions... at least the free will have the advanced heuristics but no testing in the sandbox :D and at least the free version should have cloud protection and improved behaviour shield :D i should purchase the internet security version asap xD

@All,

(Don't know if that is ok to preface like that, but started following from OP on, lost a couple of days, just caught up just now)  If I shouldn't do that, let me know.

Notice that nsm0220 seems to have left everyone alone, at least for now.

I am disabled (won't say for the moment how) and can understand how nsm0220 might feel angry  >:(  >:(  >:(
even when there may be no provocation -- being disabled is hard simply because another might not even see it, much less understand it.  This may be because a person most likely doesn't have that disability or know someone close to them who does.

Learning to accept limitations is hard too.

It really doesn't matter what the disability is, the result can be a lashing out without focus or direction.  The more severe the disabilty, the tendency is, the greater the degree.  This is bad when this happens.  Of course, the maturity achieved in life so far has much to do with how we treat others as well.  

Time can moderate all things.

So I am going to go with the latter, ok?

(Back on topic)

Thanks for the explanations about what Avast! Behavior Shield is, and what it does.  Settings here have been changed to Ask, so...

Can't wait for version 7!

I wouldn't have it even for free, essexboy warns that it can delete important files.

I tried it some time ago and all it found were false positives, which despite them being reported still existed a couple of weeks later, history.
