851969 2010-01-26 02:20:00 Ah yes but:

The first thing I do is turn off System Restore, reboot then run Ccleaner to get rid of all the temp files.

Then see how many it finds...........

851970 2010-01-26 02:29:00 Slight problem with that idea Pctek -- Cant run any programs or use any of the computers functions on the original PC, as soon as you try the Virtu Virus attacks it, even in safe mode. Also its a Windows 2000 PC, so it doesn't have system restore.

Anyway , the whole point is the installed antivirus didn't stop the infections. Along with the fact it doesn't matter if the temp files are full or not, its a good comparison test back to back software. As long as the Master PC has X Antivirus installed, and does a scan with a cloned drive as a slave the results can be compared.

851971 2010-01-26 02:37:00 Any AV that doesn't have a reseller program for PC Techs will get a bashing sooner or later :)LOL Never heard that concept before but it may be a truism. Greg (193)
