Windows Defender who need more information about certain files?

Hello - I just receive a windows defender popup after a game of Battlefield 2, requesting more information about 2 files that are used by punkbuster - w resident c:\windows\system32\drivers\pnkbstrk.sys in the folder system32\drivers and pnkbstrb.exe in the system32 folder.

It seems that anti-malware apps are prone to detect falsely as a virus because of the way they work, and when I scan them with my other anti-virus/anti-malware tools they find nothing wrong - but when I checked the windows Defender directly, I noticed there are several guests in a history dating back to early November, saying "this program has undesirable behaviors."

I wonder if it is normal to get this fast - I'm using Vista for several years now and this is the first time I ever saw him, it is a legitimate part of Windows Defender? the prompt has been along the lines of "Microsoft needs more information about this software These files can help Microsoft improve the effectiveness of Windows Defender to help protect your system. If you do not want to send a file deactivate the checkbox next to it. "Followed by w c:\windows\system32\drivers\pnkbstrk.sys, then another with pnkbstrb.exe.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

All this is normal. There has been releases of versions of malware to these files if Windows Defender
is to ensure that those of your system are legitimate.

Games is particularly known for the possibility of introducing malware so most antivirus/antispyware/security
programs check these viligently. Added that often a developer (game) will change something it then
causes a part of their program to be detected as malware. It works in two ways, the detection program
changes in its methods and/or the detected program has changed and is causing a false positive.

===================================================================

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.

  • Need more information about EO, VO and AM *.java files

    Hello
    Friends and experts, I need your help in learning OAF.
    I'm new to OAF and want to know more information about the following java classes.

    When I created a simple search with EO, VO and AM page, the following java classes are created.
    I want to know
    What is it?
    What to do with it?
    where do use us it?
    The sample scripts if possible?


    EOImpl.java
    Please correct me if I am wrong, I know that we use it to manipulate data for a particular line, such as getattribut, setattribute, delete, update, insert operations. There are different methods are been created when you create the OS if you select options in the method "generate" during step 4 on Assistant EO.

    EOCollImpl.java
    ???

    VOImpl.java
    ???

    ViewRowImpl
    ???

    AMImpl.java
    ????

    Thank you
    Sri.

    Hi Sri,

    EO:
    Entity objects are essentially based on a single table that encapsulate business rules. These objects are used by the OAF page to perform update/insert/delete operations.
    Inside of the EOImpl.java you will find setter() and the get accessor () Java methods that we call like accessor and mutator, each OT attribute is mapped to the column in the database table.
    You can also generate a create method Validate () method.
    For example: to get the value of the sequence in the OPS, you can use method Create().

    VO:
    VOImpl (VO): He just consist of an sql database query, you have probably noticed during execution of a query for example: VO.executeQuery ();
    to run any validation it provides iteration and access to the rows in its result set.

    VoRowImpl: Represents an individual line in a view object.

    You will understand when you write code using objects /voRowimpl voimpl

    AmImpl:
    It basically performs the business logic, we will define our methods to implement the business logic.
    For example: you can call a controller method and set the Amimpl.java method, you can use the initialization of the request or
    you make the DML operation, etc...

    Summary : the main reason why we have java file divide between EO, VO, AM is because OFA is designed with MVC design model.
    in other words, isolate the responsibility of the code in each layer (model, view, controller). His bad habit of writing
    all of the code in a single class file.

    For example: controller class should accept the per-user setting and move these parameters files BC4J (AMImpl.java) and his work as the AMImpl.java
    to execute the business logic and return the result back to the controller.

    To apply the standard of coding MVC, model design, we have these java files EO, VO, AM, CO. with more practice, you will understand the different
    methods defined in each of these java files.
