problems with avira antivirus

[Aurel]

I fear this is why Aurel is so reluctant to try it.

No,i have a legal copy.
I have try to instal MSE but it looks that refuse to install to the end .
I even instal then i have problems with update and etc...etc...etc.
I simply do not prefer MS security tools.

Not having to deal with anti-virus add-ons was one of the first benefits I realize moving to Linux. I used Kaspersky internet essentials for years as Norton took away more than half of my PC's performance and download speed using it. I thought it was a good move on Microsoft's part protecting their investment with their own tools.

Aurel,

Installing anti-virus software gives the application admin level permissions with your PC. Unless you totally uninstall and reboot before trying something new, they will fight with each other thinking you're already infected.

Of course ...what you mean that i am from yesterday
I have found something about antivirus programs on purebasic forum where
one guy say that most of viruses comes from chine - and i would add from indonesia.
Because most of new AV programs comes from indonesia to .

So one BIG suggestion - avoid AV software from indonesia...

[Aurel]

If you load any crap from the Internet then you need no antivirus program

So when i download your .dll which have hooked virus i only need hammer...bum!

When I used Windows as my primary development OS, keeping up with anti-virus software was like taking on a second job.

I just tested my programs writtren in oxygen on virustotal and
only...
Avira - TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen2
is this freaking thing false positive 

[Charles Pegge]

Avira consistently flags a false positive. Very few others do so.

By the way i found Blade Scaner very well ,as protection i use Xyvos and AVZ Kaspersky.
