If Google or Facebook or Twitter created an AV, would you trust it?
Nope,but then I do not trust any body with priveleges on my pc, maybe sandboxing would be less of a security breach although not air tight.....

Hi,
It is a long time question that I`m having, and up until now it remained puzzling:
We use an antivirus or anti malware software hoping to keep our pc safe, and secured, now the question:
The antivirus has unlimited privileges that no other installed software has, isn`t that in itself a huge security breach?? somewhat like letting the cat watch the milk? m` I being paranoid or, or having realistic logic grounds for doubt? and if yes, what are the alternatives?
-
Didn`t help I`m still getting BSOD, so it was not the AV the culprit....
-
You aren't by chance using the "tweak/hack" to extend updates of XP until 2019 are you that Microsoft warned against? If so I know it will cause issues some little some very obvious.
Nope I do not.
-
...but as you say, if this only started happening after a software change, my money is on that. and again, easy to verify, remove it, use AVG or Avast Free for a few days and see if it repeats.
Hi
So I did yesterday, I uninstalled the AV and installed another, now I`ll wait and see if my money was on the right spot...
-
Thanks Hazelnut, somehow I suspect the new antivirus I installed does the thing, because it started since then.

Hi
I got about 3 BSOD`s this last week while only browsing the internet.
I`m sending the Bluescreenview report.
I`ll be glad to get some ideas to fix that.
Thanks.

So far, I don`t feel Panda`s presence ...very low on resources [didn`t try the deep scan yet] and the disk space it takes is about a one third of roboscan`s space, nevertheless, I would expect it to have even less, since it does not have to collect daily signatures like a regular AV.
-
Ok so I`m going to get rid of Roboscan since they even did not bother to answer and go for a panda ride.
-
Thanks hazelnut

-
May be panda cloud based AV be lighter? If yes, being cloud based makes it more opened to threats from it?
-
I did, I`m waiting for their reply and let u in.

Ok, a little change: since I have two operating sys I have it installed twice but still under the main OS it still got 1.95Gigs.
Hi Hazelnut I`m using everything search engine, that shows hidden files as well.
The most heavy: rsrtsrv.rse.dmp, and plugin folder.

Hi
I have roboscan internet security installed in my system, and I found out that all its folders takes 2.93 Gigs disk space! It does not make any sense to me, does it to you? Does any of you uses this program and can check its disk space please?
Thanks

Hi
I think it would be nice if right after checking defragmentation, the program would suggest what kind of action should be taken if at all.
Thanks

Newer ain't always faster (or better in every field). The results might vary depending of your setup; if AHCI is enabled, which SATA-ports are used, is AHCI drivers installed etc. Both drives seems to be 7200RPM and SATA2?
Also you could close all unnecessary processes and temporarily disable antivirus real-time protection (or use safemode) for better results.
- 4K – random tiny operations one at a time.
- 4K QD32 – random tiny operations, but many done at a time.
The newer driver shows 7200rpm the older does not show any in SIW diagnostic prog, the old is SATA2 the new SATA 3
- 4K – random tiny operations one at a time.
-
Still can`t understand why 4k write and 4k QD 32 write are better in the older HD when in MHO and logically it should have been the other way around, and what should I do with that info?
-
Thank u Nodles for the software, assuming that the test is reliable, 4k write and 4k QD 32 write are better in the older HD and I`m not sure what should be the conclusion here.
-
Hi
About a month ago I added a new HD [please see specs in the attachment] and the OS is in the older HD [please see specs in the attachment], If I move the OS to the newer HD will I have read/write differences?
Thanks

Hi
I`m getting the attached security warning regarding Java V7.11, did any of you encounter that? Way out other than rolling back to previous version?
-
You are correct, that is how the free version works.
The Pro version has the ability to observe and record details of an installation so that it can not only mop up residues that removal left behind,
but in addition it knows any totally unrelated registry keys and folders that are only known to the original installer.
I suspect that Pro Revo will understand that when product Y from Company X is removed,
then Registry Key / Folder "X\Y" is good to go
but "X" must be preserved whilst product Z from Company Y remains installed.
This I could never understand, what happens while in the time you installed a program and recorded that installation you also installed some other programs that you did not record and then you want to uninstall the recorded installation, will it uninstall the new comers as well since it did not have any records of these? will it revert some other unrecorded changes made to the registry? Zsoft has that function and I`m afraid to use that function, I asked them the same question and never got an answer from them, I gues that getting the program for free does not include questions and answers
-
I actually use ZSoft uninstaller that in MHO does a better job than Revo, but I thought I`d ask as I use ccleaner regulary and have never used the built in uninstaller.
It depends on what you are uninstalling.
A programs own installer (which is what ccleaner will trigger) should cleanup after itself. I always use a programs own uninstaller first as some softwares (such as security based ones) will try to protect themselves against 3rd party uninstallers such as revo, because as far as they are concerned they may be malware trying to kill them so they can get inside a users machine.
Then you can end up with a botched uninstall.
My take on this is always use a programs own uninstaller first.
Zsoft uninstaller makes a use of the targeted program uninstaller first and only after that it will clean registry remains, I `m not sure about Revo procedures, if I`m not mistaken it will do the same.
An antivirus question

Meaning...that all this infections come about right through the protection... and once infected some other tool does the catching and cleaning job...that I know also from my personal experience..exactly what brought me to that question I asked...gain and lose are not clear here....
