Skinnable Virus Scanner!!!!

March 6, 2004 1:45:42 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Don't know how many of you know this. But I found a virus scanner that you can skin. It's called AVAST! and you can get it at www.avast.com It's free, and works great! Just thought I'd pass that on. I'd do a news submit, but I'm a terrible writer as you can probably see. So someone else can do that if they wish.

I think I'll check this out....... although I'm quite pleased with PC-Cillin, it looks interesting. (Seems to be free form skinning) :)

Word is the next XP service pack is gonna have a scanner built in. Might be worth waiting to buy a new one and see how it works out. Can't get my head around the concept of running two anti-virus at once, I figure there's gonna be "conflicts" with 3rd party ones, (planned or unplanned). Whataya bet MS makes it a bizitch to turn off?

If they do that, aren't they courting danger of being sued for violation of anti-trust laws? Isn't that what got them, and our dear friend Bill, sued in the past? Deja vu all over again.... >

XP SP2 will not have an AV scanner. It has a monitor that will detect if you have an AV installed and running. More info: http://www.betanews.com/article.php3?sid=1077727792

XP SP2 will not have an AV scanner. It has a monitor that will detect if you have an AV installed and running.

Even though Symantec is listed on MS's antivirus partner list, SP2 RC1 will not detect Symantec AV Corporate Edition.

BTW, SAVCE skins just fine for me.
