I paid for trend micro pc-cillin,and i havew been happy with it,but recently it has been detecting these things but couldnt delete them as access is denied.Then when i try to search manualy,i cant always find them.I also have all the free antivirus programs,and the only one i have found that never misses them is Avast,but i think i have lost a few system files by deleting them to get rid of the viruses,as avast couldnt clean them.will i eventualy have to wipe my hard drive and start again.??
Do you think these viruses are getting harder to get rid of??microsoft office
Hi there,
I work in the PC security industry and there has been a growing trend over the last 6-12 months of a new type of malware (virii, trojans, rootkits, etc) which is becoming increasingly difficult for a number of the big players (Norton, McAfee, etc) to remove. This is basically down to the fact that their method of protecting their usebase is fundamentally flawed.
All these forms of protection work on signatures which means a new piece of malware first has to be caught, studied and then a fix manually created by one of thousands of researchers they employ. This type of protection is dying in front of our eyes.
I would recommend a program (which I have no affiliation with) called Prevx1. This relies on a completely new method of protecting their userbase, based on behaviour and something called "Community Intrusion Protection". This means that if one user of the entire Prevx userbase is infected with a piece of malware - Prevx makes this known to the community database, which in turn then immediately protects every single Prevx user from then being infected with that malware again without the need to download any signatures or updates! Prevx really is seeing malware earlier than anyone else, and managing to protect their userbase in minutes - not the hours, days or weeks than all other security programs manage. It really is an amazing process which means they are protecting their users from more malware than any other PC security program.
