Speeding up AMON/Risk assessment

I was working on network files....

 

True.

But how do you execute a .jpg? The malware should exploit a leak in a particular software/version....

 

My experience with NOD32 so far has shown that under all-enabled settings AMON scans each file even when that file is being scanned by *another* program, such as SpySweeper or another scan engine.

If your Zone Alarm (or any other app you're running) does any kind of scanning, AMON will also do its own scan, as it is supposed to do (under the settings everyone here is recommending you keep), so you have to decide which scan is the one you want to keep and disable the other.

 

Ouch! I thought ZA (free) would only trap TCP/UDP port requests without scanning apps.

Nevrtheless I think I'll switch to Comodo, Optout or Look'n'Stop......given the poll results
