| 852022 | 2010-02-04 08:48:00 | How can . . . AV app using the engines from both Avast and Bitdefender be worse than either . . . It may be one engine is heading North, the other South, and the resultant is probably going West rather weakly? | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 852023 | 2010-02-04 09:11:00 | How the buggery bollocks can an AV app using the engines from both Avast and Bitdefender be worse than either of those individually? :illogical HMMMMMMMM may have to download the trial ( if they have one of Bit defender and Avast - do them as well. Just got back from a customers place ( yeah 9.30 ish pm :sleep ) The Scan result from MSSE (www.imagef1.net.nz(Large).PNG) finished Just before I left to go out, but I did set it to clean -- When I got back, there was a message from MSSE saying it couldn't remove some of the infections ( around 20 odd) and to submit to MS. I'll Run Nod through it tomorrow. Having fun here - just as well Computer viruses cant be transfered to humans other wise I could be like this (www.imagef1.net.nz) SWMBO says I already am - to late. :wub :lol: |

| 852025 | 2010-02-04 18:58:00 | UPDATE TO POST 62 Gdata - the reply re why doesn't the antivirus remove automatically as it says it does. (My name and ticket number changed of course) Gdatas reply --- Dear Mr. ********, thank you for your request. The trial version is fully functional. Many of the current viruses just cannot be deleted or moved to quarantine as long a s the operating system is running. This is not just a problem with our software but also a problem with all virus scanners.For this reason you can create a boot CD with the G Data software to start your PC without starting the Windows OS. With this CD you can scan your PC and safely remove viruses that cannot be removed from a running system. Please refer your ticket-number ********* when contacting us again regarding this matter. With best regards G Data-ServiceTeam G Data Service GmbH * Königsallee 178a D-44799 Bochum, Germany * http://www.gdata.uk Hmmm Fast reply ( thats good) But the drive was slaved - so by rights its not running the installed OS. I did make a bootable CD, may give it a go and see what happens. Nod, Norton MSSE deleted infections - and all tests were done identically. |

| 852027 | 2010-02-04 21:48:00 | Is it Nortons new release being "road tested" in camouflage? Probably but not the new version, an old one |

| 852028 | 2010-02-09 17:52:00 | Wow, very impressive mate! We need a "donate to" button for ya :D Is it much work for you cloning the drive? I'l be very interested to know how the latest AVAST goes, which is supposed to also be a huge improvement. AV Writeoffs: Gdata Nortons McAfee AVG Recommended: NOD32 MSSE Others TBA: CA / InoculateIT Avira Avast5 Kapersky Trend Micro ClamAV (I wonder how the open-source one does) |

| 852029 | 2010-02-09 23:15:00 | Is it much work for you cloning the drive Not really. Connect the master infected drive in a PC, attach another to clone to, use Seagates Disk wizard, set it cloning, takes about 3-4 minutes to work through the menus and start cloning - go away and come back later (takes about 25 minutes to clone the drive). Then with only the clean HDD attached , load in what ever AV - update it to the latest defs, then turn off the PC, attach the cloned to the PC as a slave - fire it up, and tell the AV to scan the drive. Been a bit busy (and lazy) :p to do the other main AV's - but its on the Will do list. Going back to the previous post regarding Gdata - after getting a reply from them ( as posted), I did scan the drive with the bootable CD, that removed infections, but running from the clean drive as a slave :groan: |

| 852030 | 2010-02-10 01:48:00 | Am I the only person around here who doesn't bother to run an AV or seperate firewall? I only run them If I'm using a computer with XP, but I havent had any problems with vista and 7. They seem to have been secure enough as it is. Maybe I will install Security essentials tonight and see if I have anything haha Thats what I used to do. If you dont click anything it cant get infected, apart from a remote automated exploit which has little chance of getting through a router firewall. |

| 852031 | 2010-02-10 01:54:00 | If its a windows exploit, I doubt a router firewall would block it completely. Or at all. If there's a fix you install it. Then you'll have less chance of getting hit by it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
