"ok ppl listen up"

by yprtb on May 19, 2007

Pros: this is a viruis cleaner, meaning that if u think u have a viruis that your CURRENT antiviruis program is missing, u can run this tool to check for certain baddies, viruises. For a complete full antiviruis program, use avast home edition (completaly free) or use avg. If you go onto avast.com it says this: If you know that your computer has been infected by a known virus/worm (such as MyDoom, Netsky, Beagle etc.) try using our FREE avast! Virus Cleaner.
THIS IS NOT AN ANTIVIRUIS PROGRAM TO PROTECT YOUR PC, ITS A PROGRAM TO SEARCH FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF VIRUISES. kinda like microsofts malcilous software removal tool.

"Junk, even worm bagle32 allows it, while all other blocks"

by rms.server on April 27, 2008

Cons: I caught bagle32, "thanks to Avast protection". All anti virus, CCleaner, Spybot and other "useful" software were blocked even in Safe Mode, it was not possible to install anything. I managed to launch Dr. Web Cureit in Repair Mode, it found some trojans and deleted them. Then it was possible to launch ComboFix and it did all the rest.
