That's because you had the adware before, windows had a system restore point created, and then you removed the adware. Nod32 still detects it in system restore's cache which is locked and cannot be touched.

Fix: Delete old restore points using system restore.

Hah! of course...why didn't I think of that...

Thanks!

well, I must say, that the new version of Antivir really competes with all the paid programs out there, it updates once a day, and checks for them like 3 times a day, besides, I havnt had 1 virus in 6 months... AVG blocks them before they can get in! also window's firewall works like a charm

I'm using Norton right now, but i want to switch it to something else, cuz my old computer's norton is expiring.

anyway, i've DLed NOD32, but does it do auto-protect? like u turn it on and the antivirus monitors the stuff itself? if yes, how?

thanks

Vote for Kaspersky, and this is why :

Because i like to test all my app. to see if they worth installed or not, some time ago, i've downloaded (not execute or installed ! ) a lot of trojens, virus, etc etc from some "bad" sites, then scanned my PC allmost all the important AV's on the net, and it turned out that Kaspersky recognised most of them, althought at that time i've used Bitdefender which it would be the 2nd on this list, i know that many of you have started with one AV and will die with it saying that is the best. But if u really wanna see what's the best you could try some thing similar to what i've done. Anyway the best AV is Common Sense !

Tredn Micro PC Cillin... since 2002 its been fantastic and just works... main thing i like about it, are the CONSTANT updates meaning there is never really a lapse where you aren't up to date so to speak.

2006 is the best version so far, very stable, smooth running and easy to use.

I have been using sophos antivirus for my whole life and I have NEVER had a virus or a trojan! I dont know anyone else who has never had one :cool:

I don't know you either, but I've never had a virus in my life... or at least I've never noticed since I don't use any anti virus software.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
