BT Netprotect - McAfee Virus Checker

I've had this for a number of years now. Full Scan usually takes around 1 hour to 1hour 15 minutes. It's now taking around 3 minutes. Report shows scan engine version 1840.0000 for the fast scan. Previous longer scans ended at 1838.0000. I'm using windows 8. Scan report shows roughly same number of items and registries scanned.
Can anyone show any light on this increase of scan speed? I'm worried in case there is a virus or something affecting the McAfee virus checker.

It could be just scanning any recently added items rather than a complete full scan. Run it again if you are worried and see what results you get.
My advice and that of others on the forum would be to uninstall BTNetprotect. It can cause problems on some computers and is a resource hog. Do a search of the forum to see the problems. There are far better free antivirus programs available such as Avast Free and AVG Free.
Windows 8 already comes pre-installed with Microsoft Security Essentials which might not be the best but is generally OK for most users and uses little resources.
If you do want to uninstall BTNetprotect use this guide and make sure you use the BTNetprotect/McAfee removal tool after you have restarted your computer.

Since updating I can't click on horizontally placed links, buttons etc have uninstalled and reinstalled still doing it. Cant even see how to get an older version that did work and have run a virus check. explorer works

Firefox was automatically updated to 7 and now all the websites I go on the horizontal active things you would click on will not do anything. eg in ebay I can't access "My ebay" and in facebook can't click on my profile or messages, in Flickr I can't click on "Your Photostream" which means I can't use it. I tried explorer and all these work so it has to be firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled and ran a complete system virus check on top of the active ongoing one and nothing no change. I am at a loss what to do now. A relative suggested downloading an older version that worked but I can't even see how to do that. I would appreciate help so I could use firefox as in the meantime I am stuck with exporer which I hate. Thanks

This issue can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar extension

Downloading a specific file installs a keylogger not detected by virus checker

I recently downloaded "Optifine" for Minecraft from www.minecraftmine.org, and since then, every time I tried to log into any website, a window popped up asking me to enter my "password for the security software" - I thought this was due to me recently uprating my security settings in my virus checker (Trend Micro Titanium Maximum). The download was "powered by iLivid" and wanted to install a load of junk on my PC - I declined them all.
However, since then I found my profile got deleted from the forum I run, along with a few other member profiles, plus I've been unable to log into a few other websites I use as they say my password is invalid. Therefore I believe this iLivid install program is installing a key logger in Firefox (the security password box does not pop up in any other browser I have installed - I use them for testing my websites, but Firefox is my default browser).
I ran a full system scan using my virus checker, with nothing found apart from a few dodgy cookies, which were deleted. But the pop-up password box still persists in Firefox. The only way I removed it was to completely uninstall Firefox including all saves sites and preferences, and then re-installing Firefox (and now it's not asking me to enter my password anymore - even on sites I haven't visited in ages).
I'm now having to go through ALL my accounts to change their passwords (just to be on the safe side).
I will also be reporting this to Trend Micro, but as of yet they still don't have a compatible toolbar for Firefox :-(

Hi there
I am glad you managed to resolve your issue. For future reference, you might want to take a look at this page: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware|Firefox issues caused by malware]] . It is also recommended to always download and install the latest security updates for optimum protection.

Virus Check before documents upload in cFolders

Hi All,
Is it possible to perform the auto virus check before putting the documents into the cFolders.
thanks,
rajesh.

Hi,
in cFolders there is no virus scan in the standard, but you can use the virus scan that is integrated into the web application server. It is however only an interface so that you can use existing virus scan software - SAP does not supply the actual scanner software. Please see more in note 797108.
Following information sources might be also helpful:
- http://service.sap.com/securityguide
- http://service.sap.com/securitypartners
- notes 786179, 639486 and 817623
- cFolders security guide under http://service.sap.com/plm-inst ('using cProject Suite XX', in the main window you'll see the download link for the 'Security Guide')
If you store your documents in the Knowledge Provider, note 210802 is relevant.
Regards,
Silvia

Aissa,
Run fscript distributed and do an unlockworkspace.
fscript > help unlockworkspace
UnlockWorkspace <workspaceName> [<workspacePassword>]
Force an unlocking of 'workspaceName'. This will release the repository
locks associated with the specified workspace. Use this command ONLY if
the workspace is not in use, and some unusual error condition has left the
repository server in a bad state.

Firefox often disappears from my computer and I have to download often. I always have trouble with the download because my virus checker pops up and inhibits i

Do you have a phone support number?
Firefox often disappears from my computer and I have to redownload. I do it from your site hoping it's safe, but my Internet Explorer always blocks it at first and I have to tell it it's ok. Then my virus checker pops up and says "potential problem", and then I search all the other options for downloading and the same thing happens with all of them.
How can I be sure I'm safe when downloading Firefox and why does this happen so often? I have XP, but my husband has it also on two computers, and he never has this problem.
I have also searched to see if I can contribute to Firefox, because I think it is a GREAT browser. I just don't know where to go for information like this, and you don't seem to have a phone number.
Thank you.

Hi Standupmom, I might be considered a random person, actually.
Maybe this is the other page you remember? [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute/ Get Involved: Volunteer Opportunities at Mozilla].

Updatetask.exe is repeatedly blocked by my virus checker. Forums say it can be malicious. How do I know, and how do I get rid of it?

I use Firefox on Windows 7. Several times an hour and sometimes when I click a link or do something else when browsing I get a dialog box that says updatetask.exe has been blocked. Forums say this can be a Firefox automatic update executable, but that it can carry malicious baggage.
This file or name does not appear in the Control Panel add/remove programs list, so I can't uninstall it. I don't know if it's safe to just search for and delete the file. So, how do I know if it's authenticaly yours or safe, and how do I get rid of it? The virus checker is F-Secure.

AFAIK. updatetask.exe is a malicious file and it is associated with the Ask.com toolbar. But I'm unsure as it is very tricky, because UpdateTask.exe has 29 different versions, varying from illegal to malignant.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can assume that your device is secure, but if you supplied any personal information in response to that email, consider it to be compromised. Phishing emails generally don't contain malware, and if one does, it's probably designed for Windows and won't affect an iOS device.

Are there any recommendations for virus checking/removal programs for the Mac?

Is there any recommendations for virus checking/removal programs for the iMac and MacBrook Pro running OS 10.6.7?

as has been said, you need no AV on your Mac. more info here: Mac Virus/Malware Info.
if, however, you exchange files with windows users on a regular basis, you might want to install ClamXav lest you pass an infected file on without realizing it.

Won't load Yahoo even after all virus checks - no virus detected

Mozilla will not load Yahoo.com page. Performed all the virus checks as suggested. Have no virus, malware etc. Running Windows 7 Pro.
Ran SuperAnti spyware, Adaware, Malwarbytes, spybot, Norton full system check, Avast full system.
Nothing came up except a few tracking cookies that were deleted.
I have been using Mozilla to avoid the troubles of IE for year now to run across this and have not been able to solve the issue. Any ideas?

There are a number of others here having the same problem (including me), where the project appears in Finder in the iMovie Projects folder but is not listed in the Project Library in iMovie. The project just seems to disappear from the Library.
Here is a link to a recent topic. It includes a post by me where I've provided links to other topics regarding this issue.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21296973?ac_cid=tw123456#21296973
You've given an excellent summary of things you've tried. I've also tried most of those, but haven't as yet reinstalled iMovie. As I have Final Cut Pro X, I also attempted to open the project file in that app with no success. FCP X crashed just after loading, after I had selected from the menu - File > Import > iMovie Project.
You can submit feedback to Apple - from iMovie's Menu select iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback.
Sorry I can't help you solve this.

Where do I find options for virus checking downloads - I get a message telling me to change options with each download

When I download software or files the Downloads window opens, the file downloads and is virus scanned and then a message appears telling me:
"Download Statusbar: Anti-Virus Scan failed to start, check configuration"
I had an options facility when I first set up Firefox where there were several options available - I believe the virus check facility was the last tab.
I think I had an option box which allowed me to tick a check box to scan on download but I can no longer find this option box. Please can you advise the route to it?
Many thanks in anticipation.

Memory is a fleeting thing!!!
Many thanks for your help.

(No virus check: internal error)

My mail server is an Intel Xserve running 10.4.9

When I go through the logs on the server for that message it says it is passed as clean.
Where is this addition to the subject line being generated from. Has anyone seen this behaviour or any ideas how to fix the "internal error", if indeed there is one.
