Sf.bin / Use Code Emulation
« on: March 16, 2012, 02:59:59 PM »
HI!Use Code Emulation, I disable this option on the file system shield (like some post in this forum recomend) and the problem with the Sf. bin are aparently resolved (use of the CPU, fucking flashing) . I want to understand what´s the diference between  on-off this option (use code emulation) Thanks a LOT!!

The emulator helps the unpacking engine, so the scanner may detect scrambled/obfuscated malware executables that wouldn't be detected without the emulator.

Thanks Igor! What you recomend? because with the able option (code emulation) the Avast use on my note is a hell, if I disable the emulator , I,m unprotected, and the problem just start when I update the Avast to the latest version few days ago. I been used Avast for the last 5 years without any trouble. OS XP pro / Core Duo / 4G RAM. Many thanks!

To start with that site doesn't exactly have a good reputation according to WOT - http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/spywareremovalhelp.org.

That site also has outod date wordpress software, leaving it more vulnerable to attack,

The sf.bin*32.exe has nothing to do with avast, sf.bin is an avast file, but not sf.bin*32.exe
