10.8. Web Shield
10.8.1. Web Shield Principles
Web Shield is a type of a real time resident protection; it scans the content of visited
web pages (and possible files included in them) even before these are displayed in
your web browser or downloaded to your computer.
Web Shield detects that the page you are about to visit includes some dangerous
javascript, and prevents the page from being displayed. Also, it recognizes malware
contained in a page and stops its downloading immediately so that it never gets to
your computer.
Note: AVG Web Shield is not intended for server platforms!
10.8.2. Web Shield Interface
The Web Shield component's interface describes the behavior of this type of
protection. Further you can find information on the component's current status (Web
Shield is active and fully functional.). In the bottom part of the dialog you will then
find the elementary editing options of this component's functionality.
