Everyone here is adding useful contributions to the idea of creating an Anti-Virus vs SimSig "problem" list. And people can only do that from personal experience. So users have volunteered information about the AV product they use and if they have had issues with SimSig. At no point has anyone said "Daniel's post is wrong", so I have no idea where you have got that idea from. And your post is what many users would consider a personal attack on those trying to help. Is your post something that should be moderated? Or would that be disproportionate? Last edited: 23/07/2014 at 16:19 by mfcooper Reason: re-wording and moving quote marks Log in to reply |

To put things into perspective, using the automatically recorded statistics from the website and self-reported issues, less than 1% of people have problems updating. What we need to do is work out why some people do have problems while others don't, even when using the same version of AV/AM software. If that takes a forum discussion and the results put into the Wiki then great, let's do it. A couple of years ago I had problems with, I think, AVG when writing software. It would report that the software was unknown and potentially dangerous (even "Hello World"  - well of course it's unknown, I just wrote it! Somehow I got around it but I don't recall how.

It just worries me that if we did that, paying customers would not get as good service.You posted some anecdotal evidence about AV programs - why can't others reply with their evidence and experiences? It seems a bit of a thankless task to try to list currently problematic AV programs, given that the parameters being used by them vary with every update, so for each one that starts being problematic, another will cease to be!

" said:" said:At the risk of being a 'me-too', I've been running SimSig with the paid version of AVG for what seems like half a life time with no problems at all" said:And here. Five years and not a problem. Would recommend to anyone, and already have done.I use AVG and have done for years. Had no problems with it when it came to .exe or the loader.Same here  Mike Log in to reply |

Proponents of the Korsakovian Method, of course, would only use one disk or memory stick - put the virus on the the disk/memory stick, delete it, fill it with 1's then replace them with zeros, repeat 100 times.
