| 1273163 | 2012-05-29 21:35:00 | Just reread the second page of that article after Nickg mentioned malwarebytes. This is from the article in relation to malwarebytes: Malwarebytes isn’t something you’ll want to use as your primary antivirus software, Errrrrr malwarebytes is never marked as an antivirus, because its not, its antimalware -- so working on those lines, if the people who wrote the article cant or dont know the difference between an antivirus and antimalware -- that says a lot for the credibility of the report :D One other thing they mention - they indicate the free version, which doesn't have Real-Time Active Malware Prevention or Scheduled Scanning, only the Pro (paid) version does. |

I was thinking about the 57% or so detection rates against know malware. |

| 1273165 | 2012-05-29 22:06:00 | Yeah, we've also got one gig of ram and avg 2012 full on our laptop. It takes about 10-20min to fully start up and stop laging and freezing so you can acctually run something. I don't even want to know why you would do something like that. |

Gotta get 'Gxk.exe' out of the startups or bingo, you've got it again. B***tards. That is where I like a Linux CD or USB stick with anti-virus on it. You can nuke the lot that way. |

| 1273171 | 2012-05-31 22:41:00 | Yea, good point. That's the way I'll go next time I get one of those in here. The Windows Defender offline is supposed to be good, too. But with this one I was more than a bit concerned over the hidden files issue so I slavishly followed the instructions I got online. Cheers. |
