Re: What AV are you running? That is really unfortunate. Something like that would leave a bad taste in my mouth as well. Just curious, how long ago did this happen?

| Geez. Well hopefully something of this caliber does not happen again. Especially since I am currently running AIS lol.
Can anyone speak to its firewall capabilities?

| I do not use AV at all, prefer to set up all patches for OS, browser and plugins, and some other programs.
Never turn off the UAC-control - it's enough to be in safety.
For alarms about insecure bowsers or plugins use surfpatrol or qualys browsercheck - that is all. |

December, 2009. I had powered up the computer and updated it about an hour after the bad definitions had been fixed, then found out that I had dodged a bullet: »blog.avast.com/2009/12/10/bad-de···-update/
There seems to be a more-recent problem with serious FP's on XP SP3, reported at »forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=110828.0
I have been fortunate with Avast so far, but under no illusions. |
