Avast Behavior Shield is an inbuilt protection feature That monitor’s real time processes on your computer and alert you whenever you get a malicious file.
Whenever you get any malicious file on your computer, Behavior Shield checks the avast database and if it detect’s it similar to other known threats, it will block or remove that file from your computer.
This feature is set to provide medium level protection by default, and I recommend you to keep this feature always on. You can turn this feature if you are a administrator or you have knowledge of malicious script’s or malware’s.
