im getting a bit peeved off with my antivirus,was using nod for a while and switched to Mcafee. Problem is they keep finding my keygens and similar stuff and deleting them because it recognises them as trojans.
What i want to know is what settings in both do i switch off to stop this. Been thru the settings but not sure what one.

When i installed nod32 i was given the option of being warned of potentially harmful programes/software, or letting nod32 take care of them i ticked the warn me box, im using version 4 of nod32.

I use Kaspersky but I'm guessing the settings will be similar in Mcafee, go into settings and somewhere it will ask how you want to deal with a potential threat, the choices should be something like .. Delete .. Quarantine .. Ask first .. Take no action .. I have mine set to automatically quarantine, hope thats some help

i was using nod for a while but jumped back to mcafee because of the problem. i might go back and give it another go.

ive been thru many protection programs in the past, how much do u rat nod to the others,i was told a while back that nod uses less memory and cpu to the rest.
let me no if anyone knows these statistics
cheers

Ive been using it for a few months now, and it's done it's job fine m8, but to be honest if i want to download some real iffy stuff i always use my wifes laptop

Get yourself a copy of vmware or similar and create yourself a virtual Win98 machine for running things like keygens and other dubious programs. If you get a virus on the virtual machine you dont really care - just revert to the last backup.
