today when i was doing a custom scan from avast… scans: rootkit full, autostart all users and memory… avast came up with this positive… that it detected cmdagent to be a threat heres a screenshot…
Why are you scanning memory?
Memory is just that, data in the computer that can’t be removed normally. So, no need to scan memory as what is detected, you can’t do anything about.
ohh i see but my point is that avast detected cmdagent.exe as a flase positive
When scanning memory, the chances of FP are relatively high due to related signatures.
thanks for the info so do u recomend me to cancel the memory scanning?
another question… how do we speed up avast’s scans to the maximum?
Yes.
Don’t mess with the avast! settings if you don’t know how it will affect the results.
