[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1084382, member: 99014"] A lot of them had history with defective updates years ago, that’s why nowadays they always keep copies of the previous database that can be activated very quickly. But back then (more than 10 years ago) collecting safe files reputation still wasn’t a thing. But this case is not a defective update, it is a full blown supply chain attack, similar to CCleaner. I am sorry to say, but looking at the awful website eScan has got, they are not really the pinnacle of security so it’s no wonder it happens to them. Third-tier products just can’t be great. [/QUOTE]
