McAfee : 1, Scar : 0

McAfee totally deleted my SCAR file today after running a scan.
>> Anyone know how to keep this from happening again?

Oh, and does SCARprerelease have a trojan?
Because it popped up with like 5 of them on there. >>

No it doesn't.
And McAfee shouldn't have won because it deleted them falsely.
Also, try using a different AntiVirus :).

I mean just in the battle.
The war is to come. xD

But what's a good free antivirus that won't take off scar?

I use Avira (http://www.avira.com/en/pages/index.php).

I had that before Avira.
Switched to Avira and I think it's better than AVG.

Don't use AVG free, it doesn't have a firewall.

Try ClamAV or Bitdefender free.

I do not use anything, running windows vista for a year, and I do download random porn files to watch.

Guess I'm just lucky, or know how to pick my random .rar'd porn files...

But thanks for the suggestion.

I got avira, doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it. ^^

I hate Avast!.
It's very annoying and stops everything and like locks files.

It's just false positives.Mcafee has alot of them, and the last scan deleted like 40 of my files without giving me a choice?

Avast is good.
AVG is good too.
Norton is also very good.

Panda internet security is also an option.

For the free category, Avira is FTW...

For the Pay category, Kaspersky is unstoppable.

Make sure you download your scar from freddy1990.com otherwice it might contain trojans...

Aren't there a free version of Kaspersky? Or a trial? I thought I had seen that logo before :p

Or you are already infected and just don't know. This is the case with more than 25% of Microsoft Windows users.

Well my mom's boy friend has a laptop with mcafee so I can't just delete it and download a different one. Can anyone tell me where I can allow access to scar, so it stops getting deleted thinking it's a trojan? It's quite annoying.
