[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1034927, member: 99014"] That’s right. The in-product blocking abilities (Web Shield) are based on technology that was acquired by AVG from Exploit Prevention Lab. This technology was developed to detect drive-by downloads and other attempts to exploit browser vulnerabilities. In the beginning, it used to scan all sites in real time one by one as they are displayed on Google searches. This quickly caused outrage and headlines such as this: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theregister.com/2008/06/13/avg_scanner_skews_web_traffic_numbers/?page=2[/URL] It was then changed to Just-in-Time (JIT) analysis as users open the website to reduce complaints from web admins. This analysis is based on heuristics and other data and is more powerful than just using a blacklist as the extension or the mobile products do. [/QUOTE]
