QUOTE(vincent09 @ May 5 2007, 09:56 AM) Just wonder is it run scan virus in safe mode is better normal mode? I use NOD32 scan my pc will detect something like programe running that file can't scan it. Hi, To fully scan all files, use the NOD32 dos scanner and startup using an NTFS boot CD. Anyway if you get error number 4, file is locked. That is normal as all AVs will bump into the same thing, whether they report it to you is another thing. If the file is locked by windows as it is being used, Antivirus cannot scan the file. |

QUOTE(mystical zero @ May 6 2007, 12:37 AM) Actually, i don't see a difference in scanning your computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I think you are looking for the phrase "removal of virus is better in safe mode?". This is indeed true because removal of malicious files in safe mode is more effective due to many files not being executed during startup time. Hence, you could remove those malicious files without the error message stating that the file is being used. If you are talking about your anti-virus ability to remove malicious files, the success rate increases too when you are in safe mode. Chief Mystical Zero, You are right, the phrase of scanning and cleaning is key. If scanning, the safe mode or normal mode don't make huge difference. Usually when cleaning, safe mode is suggested. |
