The false alarms do need to be taken into account I agree, but I can't help wondering how many of those software packages one actually has on...
It does depend if one has the products listed on their system that initially triggered those 19 FPs. I looked over the Avast list and I haven't a...
The Avast blog has a comment on the issue: https://blog.avast.com/2011/04/11/false-positive-issue-with-virus-defs-110411-1/
I find that rather comical that Avast alerted on a competing vendor's press release page. It must be a FP.
dw246 raises some good suggestions, and it's a learning curve we should be trying to teach users out there. It's good to be protected via a...
Reading their FAQs, they say in answer to the question "Do scorecard comments have an effect on a site's rating?": Even if we may not agree with...
WOT does state that ratings and comments are two separate things. The comments do not create the rating although I think what is said there may...
Assuming the statistics in the reports are correct in the way they count the samples seen, the fact remains there are users here who don't even...
I apologise as I rarely use SOL in Prevx, but when enabling it I can confirm it is not visible in Firefox 4, minimised or otherwise. Apart from...
Firefox 4 is working fine with Prevx 3.0.5.220 here. You should not need to wait until v4 is released to enjoy the benefits of Firefox 4. A new...
If they can afford to.
You were asking him whether he means adding a full-blown Process Explorer type of application or a process monitor focusing on what Prevx does...
Then let's see what PrevxHelp has to say on this suggestion. :)
Isn't the offline mode meant for those users who are still on dial-up? They connect to the 'net then disconnect when done or when computer shuts...
The beta will be available for testing when it is ready to be unleashed to users. It is expected to be soon, but no dates have been announced yet....
The same problem could exist with using an online service as you describe. Although the time-frame may be shortened somewhat as against sending by...
I was only testing BrightCloud with the 5 URLs Norton deemed to be "dangerous" out of curiosity and commenting on it since we're discussing BC....
Norton's Cybercrime Index lists 5 'dangerous' websites; I tested today's domains against BrightCloud, and only one was marked high risk malware....
I don't think the two are connected. BrightFeed is an opt-in service apparently being offered by TalkTalk to provide parents a way to control...
The AVAST website has been changed to reflect the release of version 6 so I guess it is official.
It does, but it's in beta.
I wouldn't rely totally on VT scans as they often use much older engines and cannot be compared favourably with using the full product version. In...
I'm a Wilders user, but rarely see any FPs probably because I'm the opposite to what you've just said - I tend not to test the not-as-well known...
To be fair, it is not the only AV that has issued erroneous signature updates. I can recall at least 3 vendors where such definitions crippled...
Perhaps the answer to this lies in the past - we should, therefore, ask what did we do before we used the internet or mobile telephony?
Separate names with a comma.
