Avira Pro Crack
Camie Fons
Avira pro runs perfectly fine on its own. Its been running fine since i installed malwarebytes a couple hours ago. My concern is that old saying about not running more than 1 antivirus product at the same time, causing a vulnerability. I am not worried about a the applications crashing. But more of whats going on behind the scenses, that if both are running this is going to make me more vulnerable, rather than less.
Basically how can i optimally protect my computer using both at the same time. Or is the optimal protection i am seeinking involve uninstalling malwarebytes and just running its intermittant JRT Adwarecleaner, and rootkit removal tool.
If i can receive optimal protection using both avira and malwarebytes. Do I have to set up appropriate exemption etc, or turn off any active shields? So that they function optimally together. OR would i be overall better to use something like hitmanpro alert over mb3
Im getting conflicting info, I appreaciate your patience. But can you give me a detailed explaination of why they wont conflict with their file shields, scans etc. Are there are specific areas of concern that i should look at with the settings each?
If this is the case, can i run malwarebytes avira, and hitman pro alert simultaneously without increasing my vulnerability to viruses.
Until MBAM, v1.75, MB could not access files in archives but with v1.75 came that ability so it can unarchive a Java Jar (which is a PKZip file) but it won't target the .CLASS files within. Same goes with CHM files (which is a PKZip file) but it doesn't target the HTML files within. MBAM v1.75 specifically will deal with; ZIP, RAR, 7z, CAB and MSI for archives. And self-Extracting; ZIP, 7z, RAR and NSIS executables (aka; SFX files).
They can be; EXE, CPL, SYS, DLL, SCR and OCX. Any of these files types can be renamed to be anything such as; TXT, JPG, CMD and BAT and they will still be targeted just as long as the binary starts with 'MZ'.
MB is not an anti virus application. MBAM targets mainly non-viral malware. The exception being a virus dropper ( a malware file that drops a virus and starts a virus infection but is not infected with the virus ) and worms ( such as Internet worms and AutoRun worms ).
MBM is incapable of removing malicious code that has been prepended, appended or cavity injected into a legitimate file. That means if a file infecting virus infects a legitimate file MBAM will be unable to remove the malicious code. An anti virus application should be able to remove malicious code from an infected file and hopefully bring it back to its preinfected state. Which may or may not return the file to its original, non infected, checksum value.
On the other hand there are trojans that will prepend, append or cavity inject malicious code into a legitimate file. However that file can not infect other files. The infection stops with that targeted file. These files are either deemed to be "trojanized" or "patched". Since MBAM can not remove the added malicious code, at best MBAM will try to replace the trojanized file with a legitimate, unaltered, file.
What also needs to be mentioned is Using an AV lets say Defender when you download a piece of malware an AV if in the data base will alert to it and take action. Malwarebytes does not act on a file till one of two things happen.
Malwarebytes does this to not "catch" the file the same time as the AV would to avoid conflicts. You would not want more than one program fighting over the same file at the same time.
In conclusion depending on the threat (file type, URL or exploit.) The AV or MB will catch it first and mediate. That is called layered security and is what Malwarebytes has been about since the beginning.
I turned on my computer this morning, and instantly got an Avira alert saying a threat has been detected and that some files had been quarantined.I go into the Avira quarantine section and find 32,000 files there, all from the wolfram/mathematica folder on my computer. I click on the mathematica shortcut on my computer and get a pop-up windows saying "The item 'Mathematica.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been moved or changed, do you want to delete the shortcut?"
No, I couldn't, so I just reinstalled mathematica. But then the question is what happened with the registry when avira quarantined the files? Did it remove mathematica from registry? Did it really thorougly clean it? It feels like something was left behind as my mathematica system settings don't seem to stick.
I have the same issue with Cubase and Wavelab files. few hours ago Avira removed 6050 of my files to quarentine.what can be done? in order to restore I need to click "ok" for avira message 6050 times (so annoying!)
