Is This Normal ?!?!
« on: June 25, 2004, 12:30:39 AM »
I'll scan a folder or drive for viruses and it will find a few but once its fininshed scanning it will just just close down and not even write an event to a log file. Avast did a boot scan and found 4 Trojon's but there is no record of them in any sort of log file or anything.
So basically I have four or five Trojohns in one of my partitions, but I have no idea where?

Sounds like the right-click drive scan.. I noticed that too, and it seemed unreliable to me.  I think they use like 2 different modules for scanning, and they seem to not be so perfectly integrated or something.

 :-\

Maybe someone else can shed some light on it.

Maybe someone from the programmers could correct me but, if the avast settings are the same (scanning archive files) I think the detection should be the same.

Turboturk, the report for boot scan must be at the report folder of avast (data/report). Reports are different than logs.

Did you try a throughout scanning after that? Not a trojan detected? What is your VPS version?
