Post by: REDACTED on October 22, 2017, 08:57:40 AM

It's so weird,first time downloaded cracked bandicam v.4.0(new version) portable from trusted site and launched bandicam it was perfect but today launching bandicam avast deleted it and said it's threat Sad But i've checked on virustotal there all clear no one can detected threat's＞＜ So why avast does not find threat when i first time downloaded?It's very very strange

What's my system?
Windows 8.1 x64
Avast Free v 17.7.2314(build 17.7.3660.226)
And no other antivirus or antimalware didn't installed only avast free

I don't believe you can mention cracked software and trusted site in the same sentence.

VT doesn't show/run all of the on-access scans done by Avast, VT essentially only does on-demand scans.

Plus with this being the official Avast support forum, helping with issues relating to cracked software is unlikely to get support.

Hardly a bandicam can be a threat.

You are the one who stated "cracked bandicam v.4.0" in your original post.
I actualy think this whole thread should be removed. We don't act on cracked software.
