Curious to know why I pay for the Avast features to watch out for Spyware/Malware and do a check of computer with SpyHunter and 503 threats are detected, from TornTV (35 infections) , to Conduit Search/Toolbar (113 infections), Advert (10), Adware.AdvanceElite (18), Adware.Superweb (28), well, you get the picture. Not that I am dissatisfied with Avast, because I like the product, but why are these malwares getting through or not being detected in scans? I don’t want to pay Spyhunter for their removal tool.
No security program have 100% detection, or zero false positives
they are not malware … they are PUP = not malware / possible Unwanted Programs … crap that comes bundled with freeware downloads
have you turned on avast PUP detection?
avast PUP detection is default off, exept for in boot scan … so if you want PUP detection, turn it on in all shield/scan types you want it
a good PUP / and Malware remover (the best extra scanner you can get) is Malwarebytes FREE
if you want a FREE check and REMOVAL … see instructions here https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
attach Malwarebytes and Farbar Recovery Scan Tool logs and a certified malware remover will check logs and remove all crap for FREE
Thanks everyone for the replies. All is worked out now.
