![]() ![]() I'm seriously considering Avast!, but I wish the free product could be scheduled. ![]() I had the files scanned by a few AV products and after an update or two, AVG would then not report that they were viruses, torjans, or worms any longer. But, how do I really know? Personally, I would want my AV to scan all files.ĪVG has also reported, a few times, I had a virus and these have ALL been false positives. Some more days follow as well as an update or two-the scheduled scan starts and in the morning, once again, too few files are scanned.? One of the recommendations is to scan each folder manually to find the culprit.? It would take all day if not days to do that on my machine! If I turn off scan all files and use scan all infectable files, it seems to do a "complete" scan and report more files. I was able to do a complete scan and a report of a far greater number of files. It could now scan more files.? A few days later and some updates, it seems now AVG can handle Winzip. If it identified the specific program that it encountered even better, but just stating it as complete has left my confidence in the program very shaken.? I uninstalled Winzip and removed the downloaded installation files from my machine(transferred to a USB drive). If it stated that it encountered a corrupted program and halted the scan that would be good. ![]() Also, supposedly, if it encounters a corrupted file, the program will stop instead of creating a possible buffer overrun scenerio, yet state complete.? This does not give me confidence in the program. Anyway, it had an issue with WinZip and the way the Winzip itself was archived. I'm beginning to doubt AVG and loose confidence in this program.? After the latest update, the scheduled test ran a few days later and in the morning I found it had stopped at 47,000 files, took 14 minutes, and stated it was complete.? Huh!? This was waayyyyyyy to small a number of files and way too short a time.? According to the AVG forums, the engine was changed a bit and AVG now could scan within archives that it couldn't prior to this update. ![]()
