How did you find out you had an infection file? If Avast! did not find it. Maybe what ever program did put it there. It has been many years since I went on a virus protection hunt. Can get pretty obsessive the thrill of the hunt. So easy to get caught in the marketing strategy. I know those slick hackers got me. Time to run another Full Scan. I have to trust my Virus Protection. Real time.
Your really not listening to what is being explained to you, avast will detect it if you enable pup’s but pup’s aren’t enabled by default because pup’s technically aren’t malicious ( potentially unwanted program ).
The keylogger you have is a legitimate program as has been explained to you many times and must have been purchased if it is on your system, so who put it on there ???
According to the video you are doing a right click and scan where PUP option remains disabled…you need to enable it from avast UI.
Why dont you understand what is being explained to you? ???
Open AvastUI>>Settings [On top of the UI]>>now enable the special scan option as highlighted in screenshot>>hit ok>>go the scan computer tab>>now you can turn PUP scan ON OR OFF from the UI for right click and scan.
see screenshots…
Thats enough I feel…you are no dumb ass who cant understand simple english. :
This is avast! Help forum not a western co-operate…we are all avast! users who are helping you here.
Again avast does detect and protect you in real time against this keylogger if PUP is On
Even Pondus explained what PUP is and why detection is turned off…because avast cant annoy a lot of their users with detecting vulnerable apps…and WTF all my clients you avast free ;D
Your keylogger is also a legit app…didnt you see the detection on virustotal by kaspersky that flagged it as:
not-a-virus
Again I repeat there is no perfect AV program…you can get infected with any AV around your PC if you are not self cautious :-[
Its pointless posting here now…your fuss of not listening is just stupid and not acceptable.This is what we are explaining you…So…yes avast will not Turn the PUP option on by default just for a single user and rather turn it on and loss a number of clients who are annoyed with PUP detections.
I am sorry but it looks like you (Alphatran) do not want to understand it.
What’s not to understand (and by whom) ?
Whilst true indian may not have English as a first language. He is saying what others have said, this will be detected if the OP changes the avast settings to scan for PUPs (off by default, other than web shield and boot-time scan), which this is, a Potentially Unwanted Program.
As has been said Perfect Keylogger is a legit program (as onerous as people think keyloggers are, legit or otherwise) and is probably somewhat difficult to install accidentally or unseen. I asked the OP if anyone else had access to this computer, but didn’t get an answer.
Snap! English is my prime language. ;D
