Norton came out best this time, it scored high, it scanned fast and it had low false positives, all with the default settings. Avira achieved...

No problem, I just wish more AVs would implement the list as a checkbox. To answer this: 1. None of these are executables files, none of them...
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 1. Understand Windows variables in exclusions paths. This means things like %windir%, %systemroot% etc. 2. Have a...
Microsoft recommend a set of exclusions for anti-virus running on Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822158 This can be summarised as...
I'm running Windows 7 and this variable works now (I've not added it) and has in every OS install I've run since at least Windows 2000. The...
1. Annoyingly NOD32 v4 still doesn't understand Windows variables such as %windir% when adding exclusions. 2. Also, for years now Microsoft has...
Both NOD32 v3 and v4 64-bit editions fallover on my Dell XPS M1330 running Windows 7, the ESET service enters a continuous cycle of crashes and...

Please cite your sources. Not being a vendor I can't answer this. So, like a virus then? Yet you run AV, yes? So we've identified the...
And I've never been hit by a car. What's your point?
The first section on SoftwareDistribution is related to Windows Updates. It's saying that a virus-scanner can cause updates to fail or the service...
av-comparatives disagree Edit: Link to AV-Comparatives only, not the result tables - Ron.

As I said, that block is a mess. From what I could see, the security\database subfolder follows the same pattern as the Datastore\log area, so I...

Does anyone know the meaning of the scan speed column? Is this stand-alone scan? System scan impact? What do the various results here mean?
