| Hi David,
|
| Thanks for your continued advice.
|
| With the new version, all the downloads - except from Sophos - appeared
| to have some problems, which were retried and reported too quickly for
| me to note down the symptoms.
|
| In normal mode, I tried running the scans for all of them:
|
| Sophos ran for 100 mins before I decided to quit it. The fairly
| frequent interactions it needs from the keyboard (I described them in
| my earlier thread) makes it rather impractical to run a full scan...
| overnight, say.
|
| McAfee reported an error:
|
| File C:\AV-CLS\MCAFEE\RWABS32.DLL has failed its integrity check.
|
| Kaspersky reported an error:
|
| Can't open avp.set. Do you want to insert diskette with this file?
|
| I cancelled this, since I have no such diskette.
|
| Trend reported an error (I had to try twice to note it down, because it
| left it on the screen only briefly):
|
| C:\av-cls\trend\pattern.txt not opened for read, error code [0]
|
| Any further suggestions? I really would like to do these multi-scans,
| to reassure myself that the infected laptop is as clean as I can make
| it before connecting it to the internet again.
|
| Regards,
| John Gross

John:

Read the included PDF Help File. Use a surrogate PC to download all files and
copy the
C:'\AV-CLS folder to some media and then transfer the .\AV-CLS tree off the
media onto the
affected PC and run the main menu.

Thanks for the further suggestion. I had hoped to test the
functionality of Multi-AV on a system that is connected to the
internet, before addressing the system that is not.

Doing it the way you suggest will take me a little time; I do not have
any removable media (usable by my main internet-connected system) that
has anything like the 70 free Mbytes required, just at the moment.

One question still bothers me: Do the error messages I have been
getting suggest that something went wrong with the download, and that
therefore some file(s) are missing? In this case, one would expect the
same failures on the other system, don't you think?

Regards
John Gross

Yes. The errors are indicative that the files are not obtainable. hy only
Sophos can be
downloaded I don't know. :-(

Hi Dave,

I managed to free up enough space to transfer the Sophos folder (plus
the main av-cls folder) to the supposedlay infected laptop.

When I ran it, it ran for only a few seconds. The log file showed that
it had quit because of several apparent errors, including a series of
lines indicating there was insufficient memory to perform the sweep it
was trying to do on certain files.

Considering the laptop has 512 Mb of RAM, these seems somewhat strange
to me.

In any case, I have decided not to proceed with my attempts to scan
that system using Multi-AV... it seems to be taking up too much time.

Thanks for your suggestion and help, though.

Regards,
John Gross

Hello!

Is there an option in Multi-AV where it will update all 4 Antivirus and do
the scan one after another?

Mingo
