i have been testing nis2009 for a few days. everything seemed okay and i was getting used to the program as i am a former kaspersky user and came from kis2009, i simply wanted to try this since everyone was raving recently about it and please dont take this the wrong way but through the last few versions of nortons it wouldnt be found on my systems. but i gave it a try...i have to say i was initially VERY IMPRESSED!! and really was liking this program almost better than i did kaspersky at the moment.
i am using vista 32 ultimate as the os.
today i saw the small pop up in the lower corner saying it found a trojan.zlob variant and i said hmmm okay..not good. i then made sure it was updated and ran a full scan it found nothing. told me there were 0 threats and 0 issues needing to be resolved so i was a bit worried at that point.
about 30 min later i saw the same pop up again. i then ran another scan. once again it found nothing said 0 found and 0 resolved etc i again checked the history and nothing.
i restarted in safe mode ran a full scan again found nothing. so i restarted back to vista. after maybe 5 miutes the pop up showed up again. i was getting upset at this point. i went though the history tab and it showed nothing about this instance that i could find in the resolved or quarantine area.
ran ANOTHER SCAN once again found NOTHING. after maybe 10 more minutes it popped up saying finally it deleted the zlob. i checked the history and saw the instance this time. and it said a restart was required so i did. and then a few minutes later there was the pop up again same one. i did another scan and again showed 0 results found same as before.
i got fed up at that point and uninstalled nis2009 and reinstalled kaspersky 2009 restarted and is instantly found the same thing and deleted it without any issues or any restart required i rescanned with kis2009 to be sure and it was gone. i posted this over at wilders and they suggested i post it here since it is pretty serious imo.
i am unsure at this time if i will reinstall nis2009 again. i do like the program and it is light and ran VERY nicely i almost dare to say it ran much better than kaspersky internet 2009 did i think everything even browsing was faster.. but this def does not make me feel very safe with nis2009 at this point.
any thoughts or ideas as to why it did this??
also i am noticing firefox 3.0.3 is locking up with nis2009 where it never did before on me. and does not now that i have it uninstalled
thanks in advance
