For my PC, I changed the Behaviour Shield settings to Ask.

This is a screenshot to ask if I trust this program to make changes to my PC.

Enjoy!

I had quite a lot of these during testing

BTW, by default the BB is in passive mode, it mainly reports suspicious actions / binaries to Avast's backend classifiers (virus lab) unless you have not opted for the CommunityIQ.

I posted to show that there is activity in the claimed non-working Behaviour Shield.

@spywar, in this situation that I posted above, if the BShield was set to Auto, would the action be Allowed to Denied? (If you know the answer).

If it would have been set to Auto, normally it should automatically denied this and also send the suspicious binary to virus lab.
