[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 937812, member: 31436"] I tried 17 antiviruses and only three intercepted the last command. F-Secure SAFE (blocked by DeepGuard), Norton AV (blocked by SONAR) and Max Internet Security, all blocked updater.exe from executing. In the case of Max IS, when attempting to launch updater.exe, [I]Access is denied[/I] was displayed in the Command window, but I received no alerts. The following antiviruses, as well as some little known ones, all let the last command run without it being blocked, or showing any alerts. [LIST] [*]360 TS [*]AVG IS [*]Bullguard [*]Huorong [*]IObit Malware Fighter Pro [*]Kaspersky Security Cloud [*]McAfee IS [*]Quick Heal AV Pro [*]Webroot [*]WiseVector StopX [/LIST] Kaspersky did not block it.
