due to installing new hardware i was forced to reinstall windows yesterday, cos there were some kinf of problems so i decided reinstalling was the easiest solution.
with the new installation i decided to give the new f-secure workstation version a try, the one with avp, orion and the new engine, solo or whatever its called (the one replacing f-prot) - i had no other Av installed at the time
updated f-secure, all was fine. so i decided to try my virus cd just to make sure f-secure was working. and it detected nothing ,so i decided to copy the viruses to my desktop. still nothing from the resident scanner. scanned the whole dir using the rightclick menu...nothing. f-secure found nothing suspicious in the archives, or in the extracted files - rebooted, still nothing, i even set it to scan all files, not just based on extensions...nothing
disturbed by this i uninstalled f-secure, reinstalled my beloved drweb and also beloved KAV. both resident scanners detected all the malware on the cd, i didnt have to copy to the desktop this time.
both drweb and kav identifed all the malware in my samples.
the attached screenshot shows the f-secure scan results ,and the kav scan results. note that the paths are different cos i decided to try putting the samples on the desktop to see if f-secure could find anything there, but the samples are the exact same ones.also note that drwebs scan results are identical to kavs
how can this happen ???
