Good day Wilders Forum,
Would like to know if the Online Scanner option "Remove Found Threats" might pose a stability issue for my System or pose a problem with my installed applications. The concept that ESET found Threats are just cleaned or removed without initially being Quarantined for further investigation and my decision concerns me. The ESET scanner must be very, very sure of itself to offer the "Remove Found Threats" option. Or, it has a very, very conservative scanner engine. Once malware has found a home on my System. Cleaning/Removing the Threat can render a program/process/service/app or my System non-functional. Vendors have to write dedicated programs to clean specific infections. Along with procedures like Turn Off Windows Restore Points before Scanning to clean out malware from Restore Points or Disable Resident Security apps before Scanning like ESET suggest etc. before attempting to clean the infection.
Just wondering how ESET Online Scanner is able to safely do what no other Scanner dares to do. "Remove Found Threats" and not damage my System.
Respectfully submitted
