ADF files and viruses

[Demon Cleaner]

McAfee is a virus itself mate. Sack it as soon as possible.

That's running on our servers, can't mess with that

Well, you could... but I expect they wouldn't be too happy about it.

They are all false positives. No ADF will have a modern PC virus in them. The checker doesn't know what the file contains so flags it as suspect and logs it as a virus. Even my server sometimes throws up an ADF or EXE launcher contains a virus when they don't, and that is running Linux!

Yeah you can. - Subscribe to a decent Virus Checker such as Sophos.

Problem is, un-installing McAfee. Could render your entire network fubar. Digs itself in deeper than an Alabama Tick ffs.

Even AVG is a sack of crap & can cause Blue Screens of death.

Sophos is an awesome Anti Virus solution & is second to none in my book. Expensive yes but most definitely one of those things where you pay for what you get & more importantly, if you're in the corporate sector of business needs, just how important is your company data? - At this level, you should already know the answer.

How could I? Everything is blocked, I can not even set up a scan by myself, everything is automated, and you need admin rights to change even the slightest option. Even in the msconfig I cannot change how stuff starts up on my PC, it's just locked.

just how important is your company data?

Well you know, it's not a company, it's the government, and we stock the whole data from our Luxembourgian government here, so basically is the data center of the country.

The country depends on McAfee as an Anti-virus solution?

Sheesh!

We do need to worry sometimes about the software decisions many larger companies make don't we!

Just format and reinstall everything . If its government stuff, no one will mind . Probably no one will even notice .

At least nobody would notice it straight away, they're kinda slow here
