Hi Lipman,

Can you please enable the Multi-AV tool to prevent automatic deletion after
scanning in Sophos,Mcafee and Kaspersky engines?

Thankyou.

No, sorry. Not at this time.

Maybe some time in the future I'll program a toggle switch in the menu that can
go between
'malware rename' and 'malware delete' modes.

Thanx for the feedback, Its under consideration.

Without some kind of toggle switch, it's almost too dangerous to use unless
the only other option would be to reformat. I certainly wouldn't use it just
to check a PC.
I wouldn't bet on any of the AV vendor NOT having a false positive or
defective definition file that might weck something. It's almost like
playing Russian roulette. Of course, that might be fun the the OS was
terminally ill already and about to "pull the plug." "Freedom means -
nothing left to lose."

If you are using multi-av it's a given you know the pc is infected beyond
normal repair. It is a special purpose tool that isn't really a normal
maintenance tool. Before it's use I always take a disk image of the computer
I'm working on. Even if there isn't an accidental false positive that gets
erased it is quite normal to have problems after cleaning a heavily infected
pc. This is the nature of cleaning malware instead of just formatting and
starting again.

Stating that you consider multi-av is "...too dangerous to use..."
indicates that you're not competent enough to use it, or possibly too lazy
to image a hard-disk.

I was playing with BartPE and multi-av, a while ago, and blew up my boot
drive. Fortunately I'd imaged that drive just two days before the explosion
!
