    Hi guys some news for the Avira crowd,Tonight I just picked up a Trojan Agent, Yea some fun at last.Here is the not so great part. It was undetected from the Guard Err,but my weekly schedule scan kicked off and the good news Avira found It during the scan and guarantined it. looked for its location Not there so I restored it to confirm it was there and yes it was.Now avira detectecd It again.I assume the guard this Time since I did no further Scan.I guarantine again and deleted It.Went back to that location and Its Gone.I repeated another scan Nothing.
    So even though Avira missed it on the fly it sure nailed it on the demand scan and wiped it out.
    Nothing so special here just wanted to share that Avira handled it well In the end.Ps just to add it was Not False.

    Who cares
    Sometimes protection misses things. You need to scan everything to download. A friend of mine, with NOD32, downloaded a lot of ---stuff, infected, and didn't scan them. It resultet in a full system scan with 10,000 detections. too bad that at that time NOD32 gave a pop up for each virus found.....destructive,

    I have No clue where I got it though,I dont surf porn nor open emails of unkown, I do not download music/movies and the last download was mamutu yesterday and scanned after with avira Nothing then.I did not have returnil on at the time which probably would not have happen if I did.But No worrys, not that I want to be infected but I dont worry that Much.

    It might have been an installer/SFX (NSIS, MS CAB). Those are not scanned on-access because it would slow down the system way too much.
