Well, I've been reading up about the problems have had on this forum, so I'm not just going to throw out a question I think hasn't been answered.

Tried to register on Antivir forums, but good God, get a freakin' English registration page, I'm not going to go around looking for a translation or some dumb crap.

But any freakin' hoo... Ok, this is the question:

Is it normal for Antivir not to scan for files that might be infected, after this Gibberish?:

9/18/2005,14:47:16 [LOGON] Connection request by remote computer. Establishing secure communication channel.
9/18/2005,14:47:17 [LOGON] Connection to computer 127.0.0.1 established successfully. Session ID = 0xabd3387e.

accurate program version (from the info window): 6.32.0.6
accurate AVE version number (from the info window): ?
accurate VDF version number (from the info window): 6.32.0.14
type of operating system and version (e.g. Windows NT 4.0 with SP 3)
exact path of noted virus: Uh?

Hi The_Nameless,

I'm not entirely sure I understand the question, but you have given an extract from the NTGRDRT.log, which confirms that connection between the AntiVir Guard Control Program and the AntiVir Guard Service has been established through localhost (127.0.0.1), and hence the Guard is active and the Session commenced.

When the Session ends ('cos you switch off your machine), the log will state that the AVGuard service has been stopped. If there has been a virus finding during the session, then additional information to that effect will be provided. That is the 'Standard Information' provided by the log.

If you wish to have a more detailed log, indicating all files scanned and files to which access was denied (for whatever reason), then you should configure the Guard by clicking the tray icon and, in the UI, click 'Change Guard Configuration'/'Logfile' and select either 'Extended Information' or 'Complete Information' as you wish.

In the 'Scanner' section of the UI, you can choose whether you wish to have the Guard scan by extention (in which case it scans all infectable file types - so long as their extension is included on the list) or scan 'All Files' (which scans every file irrespective of whether it is capable of being infected or not). The latter is safer but may slow things down.

I hope that answers your question, but if not just fire back again!
