Can an antivirus program detect a simple program that just deletes files? Is seems that antivirus programs are looking for specific modules that are installed by a program and that do havoc in the background. What if someone wrote a simple program and called it Tic-Tac-Toe. The only thing the program did was to delete all files in the system. Could an antivirus program detect it? How would it recognize a malicious delete from a normal delete? Note that I just made up the name. It could be anything. The program could be recompiled with a million different names. The only detection method would be finding code for the deletion of files not created by the program but in that case how to file shredders work?

Which antivirus should i use ? I have a simple server/client setup and I want an antivirus which should clean the virus automatically from the client machines upon detection. It should not confirm or open dialog boxes etc. If virus is trying to come in the antivirus should simply clean/block it.

The antivirus should run in background and user should not be able to close it. Can you please suggest a good antivirus which can achieve this for me ?

Unable to uninstall PCTools Antivirus? I've had this program for about a year. I installed the Vista SP1 and suddenly have problems. Tried to restore to before SP1 but the restore hung on the Registry for 4 hours till I finally shut it down and rebooted to the latest good boot through Safe Mode. So, now my problem with PCTools antivirus is that I can't get into it AT ALL to stop it and I can't uninstall it unless I do (wanted to install a different antivirus). In process of trying, I've run across all sorts of errors and PCTools won't help at all since it's a free version. These are some of the things I've done/seen while working on this: 1) Removed it from the startup menu - but it's still running 2) Installed newest version hoping that it would overwrite the old and I would be able to get into it. Well, I could but the old version was still running! And I could not get online anymore. After an hour on phone with my IP who told me he could see my modem, I restored back to before I installed new version. Could get onliine but get the following messages every time I startup: Message Title: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Program Path: C\Program Files\PCTools Antivirus\PCTAVSvc.exe Received Today, May 8, 2008 3 minutes ago This problem happens because of partial incompatability with Windows.

The one suggestion PCTools gave me was to go to Safe Mode and uninstall it but that doesn't work either. Everytime I try to uninstall it I get an error that says I can't because it's running.
SUPERantispywere stoped by Antivirus 2008, is SmitfraudFix safe help? Antivirus 2008 is on my computer. When I run Supperantispywere it will scan my entire computer until it reaches the Antivirus 2008 file, and then it will freeze. After It hits that file, I can't close Supperantispywere or continue with the scan. The only thing that will close it is restarting my computer. What can I do to fix this? I have heard that Smithfraud Fix is one way to get rid of antivirus 2008, but is it safe? when I started to run it, my computer said it was malicious script (or something like that).

None of these have found that same file, and none of them have been stopped by it. They have all worked well, but they all come up with different results.

AntiVirus Software not working on my new Vista Laptop? I have a new Acer Aspire 5100 Laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium that came with Norton Antivirus. But I don't like Norton because I download a lot of "risky" things, and it never seems to catch the virus like AVG does. So I uninstalled Norton hoping to just install AVG. But then after I installed it, it worked until I restarted my computer or exited after the initial loading of the software. I would get an error message like in these pics. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t205/Pyro_Uber/AVGISSUE.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t205/Pyro_Uber/AVGISSUE2.jpg I reinstalled it a few times but it still didn't work. I then tried different antivirus software but I got a similar error message. I am reasonably sure that I don't have a virus thats stopping this because I have scanned with AVG when it first loads up, but whenever I want it to load or any other antivirus I have to uninstall it and then install it again. I need Help.

Kaspersky and antivirus program question...? Hello, just wondering 2 questions about Kaspersky and antivirus programs. 1. I had AVG Anti-Virus and then I installed Nod32 (or other antivirus programs) then my computer crashed. I couldn't do anything except to install another Windows XP. Why does this happen. 2. If so, does Kaspersky Antivirus and Kaspersky Internet Security go together. If they are both installed together, will it make your computer crash. Does it work with other similar antivirus programs. Thanks in advance
Firewall and antivirus questions? I have my own Symantec Client Firewall and AntiVirus systems and both are enabled (showed on the right bottem corner). As I know, Windows Security Alert should recognized them and it will shows both firewall and antivirus are enabled under the window security alert system. ( it was like that before). Today, for some unknown reason, the computer shows " windows security alert" on the right botton corner and states both firewall and anitvirus are disabled , but I also see the symbols which represent firewall and antivirus are enabled. Then, I go to "windows security alert " to put a check mark on " I have my own firewall and antivirus progrm" , the security alert can go away.....however, when I shut down and open computer agin, the alert comes back...so are they enable? or disable? Please tell me what to do? Thank you everyone!!
