hi,
yesterday i have downloaded an archives that contains an exe file with a Trojan.
after unpacking and starting the exe file (avast said NOTHING) the program (msiexec16.exe or something like that) closed avast and started some other programs...
(the Trojan was stupid, it only writes itself to the autorun key in the registry and i have deleted the file, the system is now clean)
but my question is, why haven't avast scanned the exe file after i double-clicked it??? today i have scanned the package (that included the exe file) and avast detected the Trojan!!! should i scan every file with the context-menu-entry, before i starting them???
i have the normal setting for the scan-engines and using avast 4.6 and now I'm waiting for help ;-)
thanks
