yes i have a question. bat files can trigger your antivirus and shutdown your computer with command prompt. can avast do anything to stop these from happening. and the alert sound is VERY SCARY AND SCARES THE GIGGLES OUT OF ME
Batch files are really something.
They are supposed to be used for doing basic commands, but they do have their malicious purposes.
They have the ability to ‘kill’ processes, like antiviruses. However, the self-defense molecule of avast! protects that from happening.
But since November 2011, these antiviruses have learned to read the coding in the bat files to tell if it will try to kill their process. This will most likely make it suspicious.
If your worried about bat files attempting to shut down your computer, then you should check the file’s coding for shutdown or logoff and the likes.
Why are you worried about bats anyways? The coding is easy to read, and there is only a few ways to obfuscate them.
i wonder about avast. and i know how to stop shutdowns go to taskmanager.
I prefer the other method.
shutdown -a
shutdown.exe -a
In the command prompt or run (WIN + R).
