A journal of Avira fail, virii-paranoia and pc-hypochondria
15 years ago
General
Does anyone even read Journals anymore?
So, I just did a scan with Malwarebytes today, thing catched a trojan.agent. Whatever that is.
HOWEVER!
Thats not what scared me today, but rather Avira again.
While doing a thorough scan of my system (which is still running, mind you) after searching for hidden objects, Avira alarmed me.
Yes, it appearantly found something and I should get the Avira rescue CD and do a check with it.
So I panic for 5 minutes, being the scared shit-chicken I am about a virus or something eating up my PC (or possibly already having done so, for months, maybe years, undetected) when I found something on google. Many people seem to have thsi problem with Avira 10. Personal or Premium.
There is even a official notice of one of the high ranked coders (or someone) using Avira's official forum account to post a note on their own forum that these notes of detected hidden things should be skipped, it seems Avira 10 is a bit too sensitive or has just this kind of false alarm and they'll fix it soon.
Again, Avira. Wtf? Why do you must scare me so much?
So, thing is it could still be a virus, but after checking with Malwarebytes and not finding this and having this theory that Avira marks things designated warning before (like Sytem files that aren't supposed to be opened) I think its just a false warning like so many. And just to make sure and because I do it routinely anyway, I will scan my system tommorrow with Spybot, to check if things are wrong. Which I guess aren't but like my journal titles says, I'm a hypochonder.
