Antivirus Help
Antivirus software which removes virus but not the whole file?
I am looking for a antivirus software which doesnt remove but clean the infected file. The file may be in any format and extension like .exe, .dll etc. I have few infected files which are important to me. I just like to remove the infection from the file from virus like - malware, trojan etc., But as it is important to me, i never want to loose that file using those antivirus softwares. Please suggest.

- Any antivirus will try to heal the infected file file first, but if still can't heal, so the last option is to delete the file (if you want to remove the virus or you want to keep the file including the virus)
- If it's a compressed file {the infected one}, uncompress it, so it will can each individual file. You can't remove the virus without removing the file. It may not actually be a virus. My nortons reports 'viruses' all the time, even itself!
- any antivirus is supposed to disinfect files without deleting the normal ones... try kaspersky, antivir, northon, avast...
- Check out the following review sites: http://kadv.bezoogle.com/pp/anti-virus/ http://kadv.bezoogle.com/pp/anti-spyware/ http://kadv.bezoogle.com/pp/adware/ They are a great resource for me when it comes to the internet security and the like. I think you will find them useful too. Good Luck, ---Ad..v
- I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from http://www.download.com/ I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
