[QUOTE="Ink, post: 812711, member: 3"] If [USER=76620]@mickel1[/USER] said "I use Comodo Internet Security", I would understand, since it has an Antivirus that replaces WDA and VirusScope is pro-active protection on top. VirusScope is not an actual Antivirus. It's behaviour-based technology that cannot determine a definite threat, or based of a suspicion. It monitors certain criteria of the processes, but only after it's already running in an isolated environment. A known threat would have been picked up by the resident AV - if one was installed. VirusScope+A/C is only useful for undetected threats, it cannot perform scans like a traditional malware scanner. [/QUOTE]
