[False positive from EOS - Avast Safe Zone]

Hello everyone.

 

Hello everyone.

I have in my computer Avast Internet Security, but I also have ESET Online Scanner for on-demand scans.

Today, I was scanning and it found 1 malware: the Avast Safezone installer.

Here is the Virus Total link: https://www.virustotal.com/pt/file/6e5d95babebe7698afe08597d376cf896cdfa330eae32b82c9bb1f60d9170c15/analysis/1498964719/

The file is located at: C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\SZBrowser\setup

I'm almost sure it's a false positive, can anyone checks if I'm correct?

Thank you

You need internet to utilize live grid which is cloud checksum against files.

As stated its not used for EOS. Only for the standard product.

This means once the signitures are downloaded and the online scanner starts scanning your system, you no longer need internet.

 

Nice to know that.

Thank you for the answer.

Regarding EOS and LiveGrid, the answer is no as querying LiveGrid database about each scanned file would significantly increase the scan time.

 

Wait,looks like that i didn't understand everything....

 

You are telling that without connection, EOS will only take more time to scan (but the scan will still find infections)?

 

EDIT: Please remember that since I'm using Google Chrome, I had to download the program and download the vaccines and signatures.

I did 1 test here.

Doing both scans on my PC here (1 without disconection, and another with disconection), both didn't detected anything.

Will try now a test on my laptop.

Hello everyone.

Sorry for posting this thread here, because i coudn't find the EOS part of the forum.

 

I downloaded today the EOS on my PC.

Since I'm using Google Chrome, I had to install the program too.

The EOS downloaded some files, I turned off my anti-virus live protection (Avast) and then the program downloaded some vaccines...

When the program started the scan, I disconnected my PC from the internet, so I could use the cable on my laptop.

 

So, my question is: Does EOS scan works without internet after downloading the vaccines and other things before?

 

Sorry for any english mistakes, and thank you for the help!
