[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 977314, member: 31436"] I would avoid CMC altogether. Not only is it hopeless at detecting malware, but there are other free antiviruses which provide excellent protection. You could use a decent antivirus and not have to pair it with anything. I tested CMC with an old malware pack. After doing a static scan and cleaning any found threats, most antivirus leave around 2,000 files behind. Not every file will get detected, becuase often with large malware collections, some files won't actually contain malware. CMC left behind around 11,500 files. Antiviruses often upload known samples to the cloud and add signatures for them at some point. However, in the past 12 months, CMC has not added signatures for even a single file it missed. [/QUOTE]
