Norton has not detected some threats as of the following:
Recently I connected an external hard disk to my lappie and scanned (as I was sure of malwares in it).
I could detect only just two threats and log showed as following:
On demand scan results:
- Task name: On demand Scan
- Files and directories:63,067
- Reg entry, Process, Start up, Skipped, Trusted, Other Files: 0
Total Security Risks Detected & Resolved:
- Heuristic Virus Res.:1
- Security Risk Res.:1
Details from log:
- webcakedesktop.exe
- Threat name: WebCake
- desktop.os.dll
- Threat name: Trojan.Gen.3
But after resolving threats, when scanned with ZoneAlarm Firewall + Antivirus Free (It is my second line of defence) I could detect the following more:
- delta.xul not-a-virus:Adware.Win32.DelBar.c
- Backup files 1.zip not-a-virus:Adware.Win32.DelBar.c
- SONY_SOUND_FORGE_&_>_KEYGEN.exe not-a-virus:Adware.Win32.Lyckriks.cw
- Backup files 2.zip not-a-virus:Adware.Win32.Lyckriks.cw
Can I get any justification over this (as I had set norton to detect all those sort of stuffs). It seems NIS21.1.0.18 is up-to-date but is lesser effective than a free ver. AV ? :-(
