Re: Question Multi A/V Tool

|
| What I get when I run NET START WORKSTATION is the same thing that happened
| when I typed in the batch command for the Sophos scanner, a DOS-like small
| black window appeared and then immediately closed. I was disappointed that I
| couldn't get Multi A/V to work though.
|
| Did you happen to notice Derek's last note..."all these appear to be false
| alarms by Avast heuristics".
|
| I think I have to conclude now, after all this that my system is safe. I did
| forget to do the Java update but the java warning jogged the memory so I
| updated for this PC and all the ones in the house.
|
| Perhaps I should consider a different A/V program. AVAST caused me a bit of
| discomfort over the last few days. I really appreciate your help and
| concern, and I thank you.
|
| I did want to ask. Cooking is a hobby of mine. I have a program called
| Master Cook that has a toolbar that works with Internet Explorer. (I only
| use IE7 for this and Windows Updates, o/wise FFox) If you find a recipe on
| the web you like, it captures portions of the web page, like photos,
| directions, ingredients and must save them to a temp file of some kind and
| then duplicates the saved items into Master Cook to add to your database.
| Should using program in this fashion be a safety/security concern?
|
| Have a great day!

Hi Diane:

You have to execute NET START WORKSTATION in a Command Prompt.

That is execute; CMD.EXE
and in the Command Prompt window enter; NET START WORKSTATION

Today I examined my Event Log on my business computer which is a Domain participant. My
Domain OU uses KiXtart as the Login Script interpreter and I had the same error in the log
yet the Login Script executed normally.

I sent you to an Expert Forum to make sure you didn't have an AV Killer or a RootKit. Derek
and Crete verified that this is not the case. Yours is the first issue where the Multi-AV
was able to execute but had a problem in a AV module off the Main Menu. That's why I
falsely came to the theory of an AV Killer.

If you are thinking of an alternate AV application, I suggest Avira AntiVir -- http://www.freeav.com/

The cooking utility toolbar you described sounds safe and the multiple scans you have
performed indicate that this is most likely true.
