[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1021855, member: 78686"] You got it wrong. The example Anthony gave wasn't about the removal quality of an already infected system (Though F-Secure is also poor at that as he said in the first line). The example is about a malicious document file and doing a right-click scan on it. What he's saying is that F-Secure's scanner detected the file but couldn't delete it and only offered a skip option. I understood what he meant as I have seen this myself also. This is a long known issue of F-Secure. I saw this happening for .jar files and also some other formats that I can't seem to remember at the moment. I even asked the F-Secure beta team dev to fix it maybe almost or more than 2 years ago and they said that it's not on their priority list. The ability to simply not being able to delete a file that's not even running on the system and not doing anything to fix the problem is not acceptable. [/QUOTE]
