Perhaps you are experiencing DPC latency, I am not sure in your case, but when my sister netbook (Acer Aspire One Pro) with XP Home Edition (SP3) - with avast! 7 free alone, it works like charm. I didn't see any slower response on the system.

No problem here with my XP Pro SP3 system either.

@DavidR
Could you please tell me if Script Shield works with Firefox on your system?

[DavidR]

I haven't seen any activity for a very long time on the script shield, in firefox or otherwise.

But I don't expect to see much in the way of script shield when I'm browsing as I use NoScript and RequestPolicy firefox add-ons and that blocks the majority of scripts from running.

... I'm now seeing tens and tens of items scanned by the script shield in both Chrome and Firefox now.

ps: and I'm using script blockers in both ... legit scripts, ie unblocked scripts must be scanned anyway

[DavidR]

Yes, but still I have seen nada for some considerable time in XP Pro, either browsing or not. It used to be to test the script shield I would just fire up windows media player, but that doesn't wake it from its sleep now.

@DavidR
Script Shield works with Internet Explorer here but is does nothing with Firefox.
I have reported in separate threads for version 6 and version 7 before.

I would like to know is if this is a bug, if it depends on the system configuration or what.
For sure it doesn't depend on Firefox.

I am asking you because you confirmed the issue back when I reported it for v. 6 and you told me you were asking somebody to take a look into it.

[DavidR]

Trouble is I don't like the IE experience and haven't used IE as my primary browser for many years and I certainly wouldn't use it just to see some activity on the script shield.

It was reported but that was as far as it got for a while, for a short time there was activity as mentioned, but now 'as I have said' there isn't any activity even outside of the browser (WMP 11.0.x).

mixture of IE9/Chrome/FF in a Windows session ... I restarted the system about 1 hour ago ...

[DavidR]

Since we were experiencing speed problems in the avast forums, I have long since excluded forums.avast.com/* and static.avast.com/j/*.js from the script shield. But I rather suspect that even if removed there would be little difference. I have all options checked in the main script shield settings.

But even opening IE results in 1 local script scanned, disabling URLs to exclude results in 20 scripts being scanned in IE8.

[LorenzoC]

Same here with IE.
Firefox zero hits.
I don't have Chrome.

But it is nothing new, I am having the same issues since some release of the V6 series.

Setting Script shield to 0/0 and running FF. JavaScript activated in FF options. Just to get here and post. 53/0 scripts detected.

If I deactivate JavaScripts in FF, 0/0.

Hello, yesterday I did an upgrade of Avast 7 Beta on a virtual machine that is updated to version 7.0.1414.
The host system is the latest version 7.0.1407 and not updated to 1414.

What causes this. Will the new version soon?
In 1407 I had a problem with the remote control.
Will it be repaired? ...

Excuse me for bad English. I use google translator.
