AVAST SUSPICIOUS!

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

I was writing about that few times… but still Internet Mail agent does not catch NetSky viruses and just marks SUSPICIOUS. But when I save that file… I got NetSky virus reported on disk.

Here’s message source part:

And one thing I would appriciate is when i press [Delete] button which is now displaying popup how to delete file… is to set somehow default option answer… for that.

3rd… would you sometime fix link background issue I was writing on this forum. Because it’s not fixed in beta builds… but it’s good for you and Avast! to look ok on all WinXP systems.

Regards,

Could you send me the source by mail ?
Thank you.

I think this is a feature of the Professional version, where you can set the default actions with viruses (not only one, but a sequence of the actions that must be done if the first one fails).

I the Home (free) version, you can select ‘Silent action’ and the answer ‘No’ in the Advanced tab of the provider settings. This will automatically send the infected files to Chest. :wink:

Sure… I’ve sent you sample. That one is reported only when I’m going to save e-mail on the disk.
