Strange thing with my PC...

Why are you asking me that?
I just want to be fair. Blaming against avast won’t make it better. We need the test (problem) conditions to think about.
I’m not on Alwil side. Just trying to be fair.
I won’t start blaming avast in avast forums. I want it better. Just this.
But I won’t start making advertisement of NOD32. I’ve tested it since Sasha pointed me a trial version link.
I won’t pay for its subscription as I have avast Pro license.

For me, NOD32 was not so better than avast. In fact, 4 false positives and did not detect 4 or 5 issues that avast caught easily.
Let’s be fair. I did not post against NOD32 but I think it’s not fair start blaming avast.
I just want avast better and better.

I have AVG, BitDefender, ClamWin, NOD32, Antivir and MWAV… I’ve tested and still keep avast Pro after all.
All software has faults… :cry:

But, I’m not from an antipiracy group. Just don’t use, never, an avast! pirated version and come here to ask for help from Alwil. Not that Ylap has done this. I’m not saying anything. I just ask how much cost NOD32 license, nothing more. I just want to be fair.
Am I wrong? Stupid? Silly? Fanatic? ;D

Why are you asking me that?

Because it’s none of your bussines if he uses a crack or not(or do you work for ESET or are you his dad or something like that?).

I'm not on Alwil side. Just trying to be fair.

Yes you are…For as long as i have been reading your posts…

I won't start blaming avast in avast forums. I want it better. Just this.

Yes i want avast better too Tech that is why i complain so much

But I won't start making advertisement of NOD32

I’m not trying to advertise anybody but since YLAP mentioned in his post that he is on Nod now i see no harm in me telling my opinion.

Let's be fair. I did not post against NOD32 but I think it's not fair start blaming avast

Who is blaming avast for what?We are just telling our experiences nothing more…

I just want avast better and bette

Like i said me too cause i really like this program

But, I'm not from an antipiracy group. Just don't use, never, an avast! pirated version and come here to ask for help from Alwil

Who is using avast pirated version?Do you have any proof of that?And what is it to you anyway if people use cracks?

P.S: As you can see i am a very direct person by nature so don’t feel offended by my posts this is just my opinion nothing else…

Cheers

You’re right. I just ask for a price.
It will be my business if avast is the one pirated… I don’t like to help for free to a pirated version, just this.

I’m trying to be fair, nothing more.

You’re right. Complain is good. So, I’ve asked the conditions to blame, blame and blame.
If I know I can make avast better complaining, I will, I do.

By the way, in my opinion, NOD32 is a very good antivirus, the second in my list ;D

Sorry, I went far than I want to write. You’re right again, nobody is blaming avast.

I’m just a guy that want to help people, be happy and make the software I use better.
I won’t stay here helping people that don’t share this opinion about avast. If they want to pirate other software, go ahead. But I won’t help and give my time to the ones that do this with avast.

I won’t. Hope you too 8)

I also do not see anyone even tried to blame on avast! All we are trying to acomplish here is to “push” Alwil do something regarding those existing problems, and please do not pretend like there are none. We can not be avast! fanatics, that’s all. We have to be objective, and we have to think that way…

If something is wrong with this piece of software, we are here to report that and if someone else already reported that, we are here to double-check it…

Alwil is here to give their final word, and that’s exactly what we are asking… give us some hope guys.

Who is going to profit if these problems are never going to be solved ? No one I guess…

Tech, asking YLAP about NOD32 license is his personal thing I believe… same thing with both of us… as we all know we never paid for avast! license, right ? Yest, we still have it… ok, I believe we earned ours, but still we never paid for it, and that’s the fact. If someone is so in love with avast! and he says he never used patch or crack or something like that (which is btw, not likely… I mean what are the odds, c’mon), I believe there should be always some side money to purchase that product no matter what… :wink:

It will be my business if avast is the one pirated... I don't like to help for free to a pirated version, just this

Well the point is you won’t know if someone is using a crack will you

Ofcourse there’s no hard feelings Tech we are all friends here, we just have a difference of opinion sometimes and that certainly isn’t bad… :wink:

AHA i got you there i actually PAYED my license haha ;D And yes you guys deserve it BTW… Hmmm maybe i should translate avast too but not cause of the license it’s just there isn’t a Slovenian version out there and believe it or not avast is probably the most popular AV in my country(i’m serious everybody is on avast)Who do i contact about this?

Cheers

I uninstaled avast completely and installed nod32. after reboot I’ve got message about infiltration (virus in memory). Moved it to quarantine, as it was unbelievable for me. After that restored file to different location, sent it to kaspersky online - virus detected, avast online scanner detected virus too, but when it was running in my system it was missed even by kaspersky online full scanner. I was unable to install Bit defender online, my internet connection was unstable, and recieved errror messages constatntly. I think my PC under full virus control was for about week, maybe longer, as system becamed really unstable.

Resident was set to Normal, running all the time.

Used Normal and Through scans on demand.

Using NOD trial. One year lic costs 45 eurs, after first year one year subscr costs 27, two years 50 eurs. (With current exchange rate here) There is a dealer in my city. (It’s not an adverstisment, you asked me - I’ve answered, have it in mind!)

I know, we all humans, just at the moment I need max protection available. avast is really good, 85 from 100 points from me, but it has weak points and need improvements as any software. About NOD32 at the moment I can say 95 from 100 points. I had a big timeloss because this infection, and time is very important at the moment to me as I have to prepare for my exams. I’m still here, ready to help to others, maybe not in all questions, but I like this forum. I have no hard feelings to you, or any of forum users.

Fully agree with you.

You’re right.
Ylap, I beg your pardon.

No, I won’t know. So I’ve asked for this possibility into the avast wishlist thread.
There were some ‘problems’ that only the pirated versions have… so we, better, Vlk, discovered. I was losing my time there…

S*it… Lack of detection… Did you take note of the virus name, path, etc.?
Could you submit the file to avast?

Thanks. I should have asked you by IM to avoid the discussion about piracy. Sorry, again. Thanks for the info. It’s cheaper than avast.

Don’t think I had never bad moments with avast.
Once, it failed to detect what AVG caught easily… nightmare…
I fully understand your disapointment…

What is very difficult to be disapointed is the friendship here 8)

Hi Tech and Ylap and also ReVaN,

I have not got your views on what I say about compromised systems, and that they cannot longer be trusted. It is a common misinterpretation, that after the fact your system has been compromised, you can clean it with an AV or RegCleaner or manually, and you can again trust the system. Yes if you got a run of the mill virus, and yes if it is caught right there by the AV product, or yes when the System Monitoring Program alerts to changes, yes, then you can recover. In other cases especially where LEGAL programs are used for the WRONG or MALICIOUS purpose, you cannot, because you won’t know where your system was altered. You have to start anew or restore to the point where you know your system was not yet compromised.
If you donloaded malware that is not in the book, or a legal program that was altered or even a running rootkitted thingy, the best AV is of no avail.
That is why you make copies of your system partition. That is why you do not download from strange places or get resource hacked programs.
But this goes without saying, not that there is anything against this, but because it isn’t very clever. But everybody can have down-right ill luck, but not that often I presume.

greets,

polonus

He did… :wink:

What a strange choice of words Tech but i got the point and you’re right about that… :wink:

OK thanks for the info i’ll send him a PM

@Polonus what can i say to you except i have so much trouble understanding your posts sometimes… I use Norton Ghost and i regulary backup my system for such rare cases when i am compromised(yet to happen) it’s something Sasha taught me :wink:

cheers friends

Did you take note of the virus name, path, etc.?

C:/ Windows / svchost.exe ; The real file should be in the system32 folder as I know and it is actually, this one wasn’t there. Oh, now I remember that security center was disable by it. And the name was something with Backdoor. All things I remember.
