Stopzilla found 25 infections in my computer:

Nod32 didnt discover nothing!!!!!!!! WHY?

Hello hamilton999,

Just a FYI : I tried Stopzilla once & it give me a FP when I did a Immunize in Spybot search & Destory so if you have used any program like it could be the cause.

Probably because they're not infections. Remember the famous rapper Notorious Big? Well Stopzilla is the famous Notorious Piece of Crap Spyware False Alarmer.

I've never used either product but its hard to believe Nod32 would miss that much. Similar to a_lunatic, I've had a scanner flag spywareblaster because of it's immunization, so that is a possibility. A bit off topic but I have read some user reviews of Stopzilla that claim it does not uninstall cleanly.

Would be interesting to know exactly what infections stopzilla found. Some anti spyware software even detect cookies as a threat. My experience is that several anti spyware apps usually detect a whole lot more false threats.

I find it hard to belive those 25 infections actually is a threat.

But i seen similar posts to this one a lot of times and it's close to impossible to give a good answer. There is no details and just a question why nod32 didn't detect someting without further explanation. It's like asking "my computer isn't working, why?".

Yeah! Something like A-squared, but for virusses 8)
They use the same score engine as KAV :

If $file = $archive then
if $file = $password_protected
then { $file = $VIRUS!
$VIRUSTOTAL = $VIRUSTOTAL + 1
}
else %scan_file
endif
endif

$Prompt = "Hurray ! You're Infected, I found " + $VIRUSTOTAL + "infections on your system ! Please buy a license TODAY !"

I thought we're talking about 3.0, and that link is for v2... :blink:

Actually, no version was mentioned. Technically, since this is in the Version 3 forum, you would be correct.

The idea remains the same though, submit samples to ESET rather than ask why this or that was missed. :blink:
