Ewido - Why?

Why would Ewido delete obsolete signatures? Surely the database would continually grow?

Cheers

 

From time to time we release a new database, the old signatures are simply deleted because you then would have 126.000 signatures

 

No worries, it still seems a little odd, I would have thought signatures would have just been continually added, as in last week, say 49,000, this week, 49,010, next month now 49,050, next year 49,400 etc etc, I don't see a point in deleteing a database unless it become corrupt...

Cheers

 

may be multiple variant of worms of malware can be added into a single entry in the Database with new engine

 

yep, now I have a similar prob, it worked fine for so many days...I tried a lot (not everything cause my knowledge will not be that extensive on friday eve...) but I get an error: server error: wrong answer lengt:A..... .... .... ....(all ... are qubics or something like that)

 

OK, I should have known this but the comptability issue with nod32 (higher efficiency is clearly not working )

thanx

 

WoW!...Never seen that, ever, only ever ever seen Updates.........Mmmm!



Cochise,

 

Hi Cochise, maybe you have a virus

 

I don't think so

Normally you don't see that message, you can just read it when our servers are overloaded

All the best...

Infinity, I just started trialing ewido, what compatibility issues are you having with NOD, I haven't had any but then it's only been a couple hours that I have had ewido. What probs are you having?

 

Nothing at all, just need to set IMON to Higher Compatibility for updates.

Cheers

 

Ah, that's why I haven't had any problems 2.12.3 already sets it that way. I am pretty impressed with Ewido so far, it's already found a few tracking cookies Adaware missed. Thanks buddy, How ya been?

 

My pleasure, I have found it pretty good also, I use it as a backup to Nod32, running it about once a month.

I'm doing really well, almost finished renovating, another day should have it completed

All the best…

Cheers
