In fact, I double-click 2 backdoors in the past 3 months(This is an accident), but I removed them within 5 minutes and without any antivirus software help.
Well,I sometimes run the sample accidentally.But the Dynamic Defender of Twister Antivirus can block most of the virus attack(When Baidu Antivirus can not block the virus).Using Sucop Antivirus as Real-Time Protection just because it can detect script virus effectively and the heuristic engine of Sucop Antivirus & Baidu Antivirus can detect the latest threats.
Its not due to heaviness, ppl are recommending against multiple AV's, but because it will cause BSOD or other compatibility problems. Multiple AV's try to block a virus, and in-turn fight against each other and causes PC crash. Its recommended that you run only one AV. You can run Malwarebytes in realtime with any AV to complement your antivirus. Enable UAC as well.
1.Sucop AV is from China,doesn't have international version.
Hi xywcloud.
I respect the choice as being yours alone, for the most important role UAC plays is helping to keep your system free of changes, not driving you crazy.
The difference without UAC (in my opinion) would be similar to driving without traffic lights, and we all know how they can drive all of us whom drive 'crazy' waiting. Without traffic lights, you must be sure to proceed carefully by stopping on your own recognizance even though you can proceed without stopping. Use your most powerful AV/Antimalware: Common Sense. So, make sure you know what your letting into your system 1st. No one here wants to see you broadsided by a speeding PUP or
crashed into by a reckless Cryptolocker!
Thank you for your advice.But,in China,many viruses can bypass UAC(except you turn the UAC to maximum level),and the Chinese PUP are different from the PUPs in other countries,it can download as much as other PUPs as you can imagine(Baidu Antivirus & Sucop Antivirus usually can't block it while the Dynamic Defender of Twister Antivirus can block it easily)...So,only use one antivirus software in China is not enough most of the time.Hi xywcloud.
I think our esteemed friend, Littlebits, would have a far greater amount of advice to share than myself on the subject of anything being able to bypass UAC.
So, turning UAC to Maximum helps. You appear to have a working knowledge of exactly what to watch out for, & I can see how you must truly use your common sense & know exactly what you are downloading too... as driving in China for you must be very different from what we face in the USA!
Well,hitman pro is not free and I have bought a lifetime key of MBAM,but I have found that the mbam has many false positive detection of some of Chinese softwares.I think our esteemed friend, Littlebits, would have a far greater amount of advice to share than myself on the subject of anything being able to bypass UAC.
Update: For malware, two very useful (& free) secondary scanners are Malwarbytes Antimalware http://www.malwarebytes.org/ & Hitman Pro http://www.surfright.nl/en
That's normal for unknown/not signed AV. like some AVs detected Tiranium as RougeAV,etc..
You're right.A good habit is better than multiple avs.No AV/security products can give u maximum protection. Learn safe computing habits & safe surfing habits. I'm using my PC without AV from 2 months & not a single piece of malware reached my PC. thnx
You misunderstood me.What I want to say is mbam recognizes some normal Chinese softwares as malware.
