Today, a Rogue-Anti-virus infected my HP Slimline. It is secured with Avast! PRO Anti-virus. The rogue antivirus was named - "My Security Engine". When I tried to access Avast! It was completely disabled. When I pressed "Fix Now" It wouldn't turn on, the same with the "Real time Shields" It was all turned off. Luckily, I had one more Anti-Malware program. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware was able to detect and delete the rouge antivirus that somehow got on my computer and disabled Avast! Pro Anti--virus. The same is with a Trojandownloader:win32 appeared on my Dell Inspiron 1545 and Avast! PRO Antivirus was disabled. Again Malwarebytes Anti-Malware saved me. So WHY Does Avast! Get disabled and not turn on when I need it the most, when my computer is attacked?
What is the use of having Avast! Pro Anti-Virus when a virus just kills it?
