Kaspersky's Object Identifiers

whatever it was,uninstalling Kis cured his problem,and thats all that really matters in the end,even though Kis by itself may not have been the problem

 

well it was causing chkdsk errors and causing chkdsk to run automatically,

i cant see what conflicts as it was on a fresh formatted installation, does it not work with windows?

 

may have been a conflict with a driver or anything,who can say?main thing is prob wasn't irreversible

 

if i do the reg tweak.. how i can be assured it will not add these before i apply the tweak to get rid of iswift?? thanks

 

any idea if KasperskyOnline scanner still uses NTFS Object IDs / ADS ?

when I tried i got no OID on files i scanned ... i remember before it added it ...

if true then it's good change

 

Just reloaded and ran the KAV online scanner and confirmed your observation. Yes, this is a change for the better.

^^^ so it does not use identifiers any more or did you do the registry tweak?? thanks very curious about this

 

This was the online scanner, not the installed commercial product.

Technically, there is no conceivable reason for having them a part of an online scanner, aside from keeping a common code base. The argument of providing a time saving measure is moot for a once or very infrequently used online scanner.

No registry tweaks performed.

I think a few more surprises may be coming.
