What is the quick scan virus softwear

one I have takes forever

Hello

With most you can set up scanning to be done automatically when the system is idle. That has added the
level of protection is enough, it is rarely necessary to analyze after the initial analysis.

Here's what I use and recommend:

Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.

Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

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.
(Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
(Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

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

Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.

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 suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie 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.

  • What is the prevalence of viruses, malware, etc., to be hidden and undetectable by anti-virus software?

    • As before, when my computer when my computer has been infected, I get a svchost.exe error, repeatedly, whenever I restart the computer. The infection has been discovered that the last time by my anti-virus software, because it was hidden.  It was a computer expert on this forum who told me my computer was infected by svchost.exe repeated error messages that I received.  I ran my Avast software, anti-malware software from MSFT Security Center, Win Defender, etc. this time, and it has detected no infections.  (Yes, I know what to do to pass this message means not necessarily my computer is infected, but the tech guy said that it is likely, given that the error message appeared on several occasions).  How detect and destroy the virus/malware hidden, etc?
    • Also, if anyone can answer another question... I was told that it is not recommended that I have two programs of anti-virus software, which I do - Win Defender and Avast (I guess they may conflict).  I tend to want to keep Avast, but would like to know if I have to keep Win Defender instead, because it is a Win a Win system program.  If I've got this me getting rid of one of them, is it recommended that I both uninstall and then reinstall one of them?

    A person help would be appreciated!

    Thnx, Dharma

    WHAT I HAVE: Win XP Media Center, MS Office 7 Professional (used at home), IE8, Outlook 7, HP w / 32-bit dual core processor, latest version of Avast & Win Defender, Srvc Pack 2 and 3 (although I know that I don't need 3 because I have not upgraded to Win 7, but it won't let me uninstall it!) and regularly updates Win.

    PS Please ask questions if you have, before you answer, so it will be less likely that I'll get the wrong answers that don't relate directly my questions! (Can say you that has already happened?  (LOL).

    You pouvez have a type of rootkit of malware infection.  Rootkits can transform and change of identity on your OS (and are difficult to detect and remove) and many computing professionals recommend a reinstall of the operating system in order to ensure that the rootkit is removed.

    You have SP3 on your Win XP OS and if you plan to switch to Win 7 make sure that your processor and RAM will manage Win 7... with your history of technology issues a reformatting/clean install of Win 7 would be a good idea.  Because of the possibility of conflicts, I do not recommend using Windows Defender with Avast or any other resident AV program.  Suggest uninstall you Windows Defender in Control Panel.  MSE and several other AV programs require the removal of Windows Defender in XP (or disabling the Defender in Vista and Win 7).

    It is not necessary to stop the application layer services to run the automatic configuration service. Take it this way; the minimum requirement to run the automatic configuration service is to have the database and the database listener operational.

  • What is the quick way to check if the battery current sequency contains nothing or not?

    Hi all

    I have switch from C++ to the labview in a short time before. I got a code written in labview 7 someone else and I am trying to change a code in my labview 2012. In the code, there are a lot of nested structures (like sequency battery, case, etc.). Some code contains 30 batteries but not all subsequences contains controls or code. Someone when I pass in a sequence, it seems empty, but some controls or code could be hiding somewhere beyond the current view. Thus, instead of zoom current sequency block, is that any quick way to identify if the block contains another type or not? Thank you.

    It is spelled "sequence".

    Make sure that autogrow is enabled for the sequence stacked so that you don't have the problem of the code hidden beyond the edges.

    Right-click on the stacked sequence and choose replace with flat sequence.  It will extend things, but how you can see all the pictures.

    Block diagram cleanup allows to get rid of more space and clean up the code.

    If you see empty images, you can right-click on the border between frames and select merge the images.  You should also do this if you have separate frames that should not be because there is already a data dependence that determines the sequence of operation.

  • What is the best Anti - Virus software out there

    That I work is trying to choose between MacFee, Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG or Norton Commander. Personally, I like

    MOY.  However the Director asked me to look at this new and possibly check some reviews.

    "McAfee" and "Norton" I would not recommend for home use - even if you went with just the AntiVirus products and did not have the "suite" (I think almost all the "suites" there are resource hungry and complicated and only add to the variables when you have some simplistic question, you want to fix it later).  For professional use - I have a couple of sites that use Norton - and the (SEP) product works well and can be managed centrally - but their sales licenses and others are really a pain to get through (cross - you're golden.)

    AVG, Avast, Avira, MS Security Essentials all do their job well (again - just the product antivirus only - no suites.)  Regarding the best - * shrug *-what will change over time.  I have a few sites using Security Essentials - a little because of Microsoft's Agreements and cost.

    I highly recommend a combined installation of two products: eSet NOD32 AV (AV only - not the Smart Security) and MalwareBytes AntiMalware.  Yes - it will cost you approximately ~ 85 USD for two years of AV / AM protection (~60/two years after that) - but I found these two complicated each other pretty well.  Of course - it's for home use - although they would do their job as well for professional use - at a higher cost, I'm sure.  ;-)

    In the end - the best one is the one that keep you in the loop.  Common sense and diligence is always (likely to be) your best protection.

    Hello

    Using scan chain for a while, I know that %s corresponds only to chain up to white space. And I also thought % [^] matches everything, including spaces. But it turns out that it stops at the closing brace square.

    So what's the real scan pattern match everything including spaces?

  • What is the best way to ensure that there is no virus

    Hi guys,.

    Thanks for your reply,
    I believe that my laptop has a virus or spyware. It is slow and take ages to get up. Also during the use of internet Explorer is very slow in browsing the internet.

    During the use of msn chat voice sometimes it freezes.

    What is the best way to be sure that there are no viruses.
    I already have Norton 2007 with the last update.

    Thank you

    Hello

    > What is the best way to ensure that there are no viruses?

    The best way is to use an Antivirus application and some Anti-malware and Trojan applications.
    You already use the Norton Antivirus program. It is very good. Remember that this application is always up-to-date.
    Additionally, you could install Adaware. It is freeware tool and it scans your operating system for malware.

    But the virus or malware is not always a reason for a BONE of freezing.
    Please check your processes that are run in the context of the BONE. You can also use the application called CNettoyez.
    It scans you BONES of this situation and repair the registry.
