avast detects a trojan on this site http://forum.hosts-file. net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=645&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=40 it is a false positive. i disabled the link but it is harmless.
i thought that it was called a false positive if it is harmless. i could barely read what was written on that page because avast was showing its warning window so that is the only problem i have with it but the detection may also scare someone. i was not exactly shocked to see a detection from avast or other antiviruses for that case because i was almost sure that it was just a post with inactive malicious code that triggered avasts detection. however i dont have the knowledge about how this detections works.
at least the hphosts forums isnt malicious and can safely be visited, dont you agree?
avast is one of the best free antiviruses
the only thing i dont understand is why we must register to use it for a long time. why is that?
ok, thanks how do i pay for avast? what is the most important difference between the free one and the paid one? i mean what stronger security does the paid one give?
Security is the same: same engine, same virus databases.
Pro version has other provider (that works good on XP), allows scheduling and automation, the configurability is a huge high (more flexibility).
Hope Kubecj doesn’t lose the question in the middle of this thread…
