Paul, It is picky. I have a half dozen applications which are related and encrypt them using Software Passport. Bit Defender found Trojan.Downloader.Small.DQL in each one and I nearly had a coronary! Of course, it deleted each exe also. And of course, there is no vires - even worse I googled the Trojan and there were no results.
I have a case in with their tech support. It does work in the background and it wastes no time. The minute I create a Software Passport exe it pops up and deletes it. It reminds me of a cat that brings a dead animal home and is so proud..... there is a large popup congratulating itself! I have learned to turn Bit Defender off while encrypting the exe and then moving the exe files to a linux ftp site. I believe Bit Defender works well and can live with occasionally disabling it. The 1,400 files it nailed were junk - plus "Symantec Files". (That is another story - no more Symanted - ever.) No dbf files were "bad". To see the log files click "Settings" (bottom right) - "Antivirus" (upper left) - Scan (tab). Click "Deep System Scan" then right click on "Deep System Scan" to get to "View Scan Logs".

Had a problem today that I think is related to this sw. A client in Ireland was having big problems this morning. Things weren't working properly so the local dealer run a file check (AKA pack & reindex). Failed on numerous files and at least one important DBF has vanished. So they tried deleting the CDX files (the app rebuilds them at startup if missing). Failed, but the server said they was not in use (she's knowledgeable, I believe her). So I got the agent to get a backup (basically a zipped copy of the DBFs) and she could restore them on her PC OK. After a bit of digging guess what they installed on the server yesterday? BitDefender. Never used is myself. Apparently the data folders are excluded. I'm awaiting the outcome... -- Paul [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
