...I think I was having a bad day, plus I seem to be getting absent minded
these days, so ...forgetting to un-immunize, and switch off Tea-Timer module
in Spybot S&D, before trial-ing and error-ing various anti-malware programs,
not to mention the undocumented behaviours, and interactions, of other
anti-malware programs with "other" anti-malware programs.
It seems to be easier at some times, and harder at other times, to remain
aware of exactly how various anti-malware programs are behaving - and what
they are doing, ...and allowing, ...and preventing !!! :-)
I do like to experiment with a wide range of anti-malware applications, and
monitor what they are doing. AVG has recently been deploying some
impressive algorithms, and techniques, in "their" fight against new malware
variants, ...and I recently read with interest, views expressing diminishing
approval of AVG when, in fact, AVG is putting as much, if not more, effort,
into improving their product than many other anti-malware
vendors....phew...I was wondering when that sentence was going to end. !
In other words, after achieving an "installed application program mix,"
(particularly anti-malware programs), which is problem free, ...it becomes
difficult to bear in mind, over a period of time, the MANY behaviours of
MANY installed applications !
:-)
