ASC 3.1.1 Security Analyzer Display Incorrect

[siliconman01]

When the Security Analyzer is run, the HJT numbering in the results display is totally inconsistent with that of a Hijackthis scan. The attached PIC shows some of these inconsistencies.

 

In addition there are several areas that are not analyzer, yet they are very important for corrective action to analyze and clean an infected system....which is the intent of the Security Analyzer. The key elements of a HJT log are shown below...all of which are important.

R0 - Changed registry value

R1 - Created registry value

R2 - Created registry key

R3 - Created extra registry value where only one should be

F - IniFiles, autoloading entries

F1 - Created inifile value

F2 - Changed inifile value, mapped to Registry

F3 - Created inifile value, mapped to Registry

I do not think the term "Suggestions" should be used when the Security Analyzer completes its scan. That term implies that the user should consider doing something with the results of the scan, even though for an uninfected system, there is no action desired/required.

 

"Analyzer Results" is more appropriate.

How often does Iobit.com update various malware threats?

 

What malware threats does the free edition scan and detect?

Does it look for wowfx.dll and Qhosts? CA scan detected wowfx and about 2 qhosts.

it only detects some malware in the registry and in no way replaces a normal antispyware

This issue remains unfixed/unchanged in V3.1.2.
