    why guess subjectively concerning which shields are activated & how they affect performance?

    Process Explorer is your [great] friend - will help you fine-tune to your heart's delight.
    [also - as you become accustomed to quick glances at running processes,
    you will instantly recognize anything that doesn't belong, & so gain another multi-talented malware prevention/detection tool]

    Avast Free IS a terrific app, hasn't let me down yet in my Experimental/Research modes with surfing/downloading from the worst sites.

    hmm, as the updates continue for avast v5, the less i seem to like it... if updates like this (taking control away from the user) continue ill be ditching avast pretty soon...:thumbd: :mad:

    if you have used a previous version those controls were not available anyway. they had them him before. now you can see them and as before you can not access them. there was nothing taken away. i know that for a fact as i have most of the older installers and just tested the previous build and the one before that. so they have not removed anything from the scan options. they were just not shown before
