Hi Shane

  Have you ever set heuristics sensitivity to high in avast? If so, how many false positives?


Chris

Shane:
I never have. And you WILL get a lot more false positives. This is true with any antivirus.

They are trying to detect new unknown viruses. Never works like it should.

Shane

chris635:
Got it thanks.


Chris

chris635:
Hi Shane

      Other than avast. Do you run any other real time mal-ware programs for protection?


Chris

Shane:
Nope none.

Proper habits and keeping things up to date is key. Java and flash is how a LOT of today's viruses get in. Always keep them up to date. haven't had a virus or infection in 7 years :-)

I never used outlook express which viruses used a security hole to infect by email (I use thunderbird)

I never used IE which is where a lot of older viruses use to come in (IE 6 was horrible)
