[QUOTE="Rodney74, post: 624084"] Thirio says: This was a family computer that was used 7-8 years ago which was badly infected while using security essentials and has been sitting for a while since then. [B]So far I've scanned this computer with just about everything you can imagine. And still Twister is managing to clean up after top names like Avira, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Avast. [/B] It's not done yet but already the computer feels twice as fast. You weren't able to do any browsing on this computer before it was so slow. But more importantly here you can see the detection mechanisms in action. You can see the heuristics being used more than anything. Files detected as "iGene" are probably polymorphic viruses which are hard to detect by signatures. And the "Virus" detections are just known bad files. The computer has sped up tremendously. One thing I can point out is it found "FLV blaster" which is confirmed bad and shouldn't be there. It also detected a fake "explorer.exe" virus in the Windows folder. [COLOR=#ff4d4d][B]Kaspersky missed all of these...[/B][/COLOR] edit: it has found over 120 threats in separate scan windows. [/QUOTE]
