A good reason to have realtime file scanning

[chastity]

Well I found a very good reason for having a anti-virus program that does realtime file scanning. See attached image

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Chastity any idea where it came from??

 

[chastity]

some stupid pop-up on a pretty useful site, the pop-up was related to adult content. I'm lookin for more info as its been awhile since I got one. For anybody lookin for more info about this virus check out the link.

After looking at a certain site (rather not say)

That's why I asked you earlier Chastity

 

[chastity]

wel i was wrong lol mine of must of been difrent

JS.Exception.Exploit is an exploit that allows Java applets to run arbitrary code on unpatched versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer. In many cases, the applet may perform simple actions, such as changing your Internet Explorer home page. However, it can also be programmed perform actions such as a mass mailing, as in the case of VBS.Loding.A@mm, or to create file on your computer that perform almost any malicious

and on ur norton's setting's dont quatrine the file auto delete cause it can still work lol and it's safer

 

[Timuwine]

Sometimes deleting the file causes it to harm your computer. You could say that it triggers something to harm your computer.

 

[chastity]

Well in my case it got quatrined then I deleted it. So I'm still sticking by my statement that is the name of the thread

Chastity - just a quick verification - as long as Auto-Protect is enabled, real time scanning is to turned on. Correct?

 

[RobbieSan]

yep, also depends on the configuration.. if it's set to default then it should scan eveything that's run, opened, moved, copied, or downloaded, and email too..

 

[damnyank]

Thanks RobbieSan - I am pretty much a "default" kind of guy!
