Stupid panda 2008 antivirus

 

[Reaper2008]

Get a better AV j/k.

I don't really like panda that much, but a friend of mine has it and no WE = deleted problem, so it must be something else. Maybe it was really infected?

 

[eleljrk]

Go download a new one! ;D

 

[baassee]

Download JNGP or re install WC3

ive never heard of panda, and now i dont plan to get it

almost all av see parts of JNGP as a virus (because there is code in it that 'hacks' your normal WE), just add the jngp folder to the safelist of your av

Mine doesn't. It's McAfee Total protection. And I am sure Comodo doesn't either. Basically, I've never heard of an AV deleting WE.

PS @Markosmarky: I don't suppose you set it to 'Maximum/Paranoid Security'?

Don't get auto-scanning anti virus and get Spybot S&D instead, so whenever you think there's a virus on your computer just open it and scan.

from http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=90999:

My antivirus software reports viruses, is this package infected?
No, some antivirus tools just think it is due to the nature of this tool, that works by injecting its own code into the process of the WE. Most tools allow to setup an exception for such cases, some have to be turned off though (like Kaspersky, see below). Here's a list of tools that have been reported to cause trouble with NewGen:
* Avira Antivir detects several of the files as trojans, you can choose ignore for the reports and whitelist those files later to fix the problem. (Extras\Configuration, activate export mode, under both Scanner\Scan\Exceptions and Guard\Scan\Exceptions add the offending files to the list)
* Kaspersky Antivirus also gives false alarm and it's not possible to effectively whitelist NewGen. You need to turn Kaspersky off to use NewGen (see several questions below).
* EZ Antivirus silently quarantines some files breaking the editor completely. You need to turn it off before even downloading the pack, but then you should be able to whitelist NewGen, once it's installed.
* Avast Antivirus reports false viruses. It is possible to whitelist NewGen in its configuration though.
* AVG reports false viruses and may silently delete required files. I don't know if you can set an exception in AVG.
* F-secure reports several false viruses but you can make it ignore the NewGen files.
* McAfee VirusScan Enterprise also detects some files as viruses but allows to set an exception for those.
Check the forums if you have trouble with your antivirus software and NewGen.

You realise what a big security risk that is right? S&D is not antivirus, it's antispyware. It'll catch adware, spyware (ofc), and maybe some trojans.

But it'll never catch worms, which are the only viruses that ruin systems. Generally:
Adware -> Just annoying. Popup Ads.
Spyware -> Monitors your movements.
Trojan -> Seems legit, isn't, brings adware, spyware and worms to your PC.
Worm -> Infects other files, ruins your system.

Only AV's get worms, so you must have one.

I have Mcafee Total Protection, SUPERantispyware, Malwarebytes AntiMalware, SpywareGuard, and Firefox with NoScript and Adblock+.

I haven't seen a virus in 3 months, not even a tracking cookie .

just never click adds, don't use torrents or gnutella and never download porn.

My laptop has no av and is still virus free after 1 year.

btw, aren't 4 avs slowing your system down quite a lot?

 

[baassee]

he dont have 4avs, just 1 and lots of anti spywares
