mystery threat detected in scheduled quick scan?
« on: September 12, 2014, 01:12:41 AM »
I recently reloaded windows on a clean install but it was doing this on my previous install also.  Sometimes (not everytime) a scheduled quick scan runs at 1am, it says a threat was detected.  However when you click on the show results button nothing happens.  Doesn't show what the threat was or that it did anything with it. If you look in the scan history it shows that no threat was detected... If I run another scan it finds nothing.  Im baffled :/

I did and no one OBVIOUSLY has fixed it if it is a bug. If enough people post this issue maybe itll be fixed. Learn how to spell and stop being a jerk.

Indeed, learn how to spell.
A jerk?
He only told you to use the search option on this webboard before posting.
There is nothing wrong with that.
Especially since this issue is already known and have been mentioned many times before.
Besides that, there are also search engines that you should have used to find a explanation.
