Summary
I've used a lot of AV solutions in the past, from 1986, when viruses first became a problem, to the present time. Norman Maleware Cleaner is superb. It found eleven infected files in my 80 Gigs. For those who claimed that it gave ?false positives? and deleted their files with no way to reverse it, this is simply handled by switching ?no clean, Skip the cleaning process? off in the ?options? button. Then you can see what it scanned and test each file independently. My question is how did they know it was a false positive if it got deleted? I ran my 80 Gigs and it found 11 hidden Trojans that other programs missed. I switched off the deletion so that I could further examine them. Then I tested these with Avast, AVG, Norton, McAfee, and Trend Micro. Most of them missed it, but one other caught the same Trojan, so it was really there. This happened on all eleven, various programs hit and missed the viruses that Norman found. None of them caught all of them in one sweep except Norman. Imagine that!
