As far as I know version 2.7 has a feature that detected threats in operating memory will be deleted at the next reboot. Is it right ?

Now, another question: version 2.5 has the same feature ?

Thanks for any replies!

Both 2.5 and 2.7 have that feauture and it has been working perfectly for me . When the kernel or AMON find a threat already loaded in memory , they load the on-demand scanner which scans that file and which will delete it upon reboot :thumb:

nice... thank you HItech boy for the fast answer. I was asking becasue one of my friends had a virus. He downloaded NOD32, installed it and performed a full scan. NOD found a threat in memory but it seems it was not deleted at next reboot.

Anyway, I should mention my friend is novice in terms of computing and he was not so well aquinted with AVs and not even Safe Mode. Finally he performed a clean install of Windows and then reinstalled NOD32. :)
