• Avast! Writes to the SSD much antivirus software during scan

  Hi guys,.

  I have installed avast! Antivirus on my Mac, do not protect my Mac specifically, but to keep it to pass on the Windows malware to other computers or on my Windows partition. When the full analysis of the system, I notice that he reads a lot of data in the player (that I know), but it saves up to 40 GB of data in the SSD at the end of the analysis! I know writing excessively on the SSD can shorten their life (although I tried to calculate its expected service life using my daily writing, and I should have at least another 10 years of use, which is more than enough).

  My point being, why is avast! write on the disk so during a scan? Is it caused by a heuristic analysis or something? I don't want to put unnecessary pressure on my SSD, even though I know that Apple SSD are generally pretty durable.

  Thank you.

  Note: Please don't give me a conference on the installation of antivirus software on Mac - I know that this is not strictly necessary but I explain why I use it at the beginning of my post.

  Your windows contacts can take care of themselves. He has no need of you to your Mac protecting wear.

  Your Mac is already well protected without that avast garbage making it unstable.

• No longer connect to the internet after you uninstall antivirus software

  Hello

  Please forgive me if there is a simple solution to this problem. I have already undertaken some research and various attempts to correct them accordingly in vain.

  System: Windows 7 64-bit

  Problem - no more have the internet connection after you uninstall antivirus software

  the story so far: yesterday I uninstalled VIPRE Internet Security 2014 as suggested on their guys to support online so I could upgrade to the latest version (2015).

  After uninstalling and restarting, small notification of connection there was an error in this regard. When you look at the map, it linked the wireless modem, but there was a red cross between it and the symbol of the world of the internet.

  I tried another public network and tried to use my phone as a hotspot and still the same result.

  System Restore does not work.

  I defragged and cleaned up.

  I downloaded a program called Vipre rescue to find the virus.

  I tried with windows on and outside firewall.

  I installed a full copy of 2015 AVG (free) and still no luck.

  I tried a flush.bat file (easily on another where I read that someone had the same problem).

  Any help would be most welcome!

  Thanks for getting back to me.

  I dropped last week and held a store of the local computer. I just returned it today. Guys said they had 'fun' with her. Which means it took a lot of time for them to trouble. Apparently there had been some severe or ciritcal crashes who think could have been partly to blame.

• Need to find the right Antivirus software

  Hi team,

  I have a confusion on what Antivirus software to decide as there seems to be many providers of AV on the Internet. My basic use of the pc would be mainly multimedia (movies and games) and navigation. It is why would you suggest me a VA that is also inexpensive and effective in action. In addition, I had set to zero on Norton and Avast. History says that Norton consumes a lot of system resources that makes the slow system performance. Please specify on the same.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  I hope this helps.

  I have a MacBook Pro and currently on a trip abroad, but a lot of adware and also being asked to buy antivirus software. Normally at home in Ireland I don't remember the amount of adware. The impression that Safari was strong enough to withstand the virus. ?

  Those are all SCAMS to !  Not ignore them.  Force Quit Safari and restart it by pressing SHIFT and who should be eliminated temporarily.

• How can I avoid firefox reset my browser preferences when my antivirus software scans my computer

  Starting on 19/02/2013 every time that my antivirus software scans my computer (per day), various Firefox browser preferences are being reset. (It seems that Firefox can be reset to the default value.) My home page is reset to mozilla etc...

  I have reset Firefox, un-installed and re-installed Firefox to no avail.
  Each time the computer is scanned my browser preferences are lost.
  

  The following information system:
  Windows 7 pro 64-bit
  AVG antivirus 2013 current build.

  Firefox v19.
  

  I don't remember anyone to another report that AVG has done this. In fact, it would be useful to know exactly what did AVG. Your home page is stored in a file named prefs.js in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). It deletes this file? Replacement of a 'clean' copy it right? He characterizes the read-only file so that your changes are not saved between sessions?

  Could you make a backup copy of your profile folder if you have around comparison after running the analysis? You will need to store on a USB key and it is not be analyzed, too.

  To access this folder, you can use

  Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

  Navigate from one level to Ctrl + drag the folder to the destination of the copy.

  Where can I find my antivirus software

  Unless you have installed one, there are none on the Mac.

  This is the way it should be. Since they offer no extra protection and only cause problems.
