Webcam Shield - FAQs | Avast

Note a: If downloaded files are being corrupted, under Web Shield > Expert Settings > Exclusions > Main Settings, uncheck 'Use Intelligent Stream Scanning'. This sets downloaded files to be scanned only after all the parts have been downloaded and reassembled in a temporary folder, rather than being scanned piece meal as partial packets arrive.

Note b: If Web Shield falsely identifies downloaded CTI Navigator files as infected, under Web Shield > Main Settings > select Sensitivities > click a shorter Orange bar to lower the Heuristic sensitivity. Unlike comparisons to known virus signatures, heuristics are just probabilistic estimates of the likelihood that a file may harbor a new unknown virus.
