What do you mean? If you have resident protection on, which is the default I think, it scans a file as soon as it's written or read from. What more would anyone want?

So you've had to use Trojan remover then...
That time I was still using AVG. The malicious trojan was not detected immediately and when it was detected, it was too late. Thought formatting my drive would help, but nope, it did not. So I downloaded Trojan Remover and that worked wonders.
version 8?
Oh crap...thats what i use...gulp
Lol, I used to use AVG, but that just pissed me off. If you format your drive its quite difficult to find the free version and they always want you to buy the paid version - obviously.Fell for they hype hey?
Yep, AVG got bad, and thats why I never bothered with MSE, I only trust MS to make my OSLol, I used to use AVG, but that just pissed me off. If you format your drive its quite difficult to find the free version and they always want you to buy the paid version - obviously.
I loaded Avast on my dads PC, that thing works like a charm. But yeah, honestly, I just thought that MSE was fine. I didn't even do any real research...apart from, "oooh, check that out, a free anti-virus...and its made by MS *download*"
Dammit
Exactly what I said. What more would anyone want? Scan it before it exists?
Never had this problem with AVG loaded. It scans it before any other application opens it and prevents access if it finds anything. Must have clicked on an executable while it wasn't loaded. But don't worry it happens to everyone at some point.

Exactly what it does in my experience.
Ah the autorun as soon as drive gets plugged in "feature". Yeah had that problem on someone else's PC but as soon as I plugged it into my own AVG flagged it. I can't even tell it to ignore because it flags it again so I had to disable AVG to do a copy. Never had it fail to flag something and then later detect it when doing a scan.
