    Some says that if a program don't run in kernel level it can be easily terminated or eaten away unnoticed by an advanced malwares or stealthy trojans. o_O

    What's the best way we can do to protect our antivirus program from this things to happen... :rolleyes: a possibility of being eaten away and rendered helpless by an advanced malwares? :cautious: o_O :'(

    Actually, I ask avast about this and here's the reply I got from them:


    "Some parts of avast! are running in kernel mode. We prefer layered
    security model, so avast! is antivirus & antiworm."

    Well, just another thing that gives me more peace of mind. ;)

    Wrong , you apparantly only tried older versions of the PG free. The 'new' free versions allow unlimited protections (termination,modification,reading), but you can no longer block global hooks, protect physical memory, install drivers and SMH.
