Janus 210 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Hey ..... I can't remember if I have heard an explanation for this ? ...I downloaded a new version of " Winrar" 5.01 today..just released yesterday. I checked the file by using " reputation ", you know right click context menu, and the file get categorized as "attention (yellow). I installed the file,(is a known vendor) and check " Running processes" and there it is categorized as fine (green). Why the difference......yellow when you right click file repetition, and green when the file process is running? Regards Janus
ESET Moderators Peter Randziak 1,223 Posted December 4, 2013 ESET Moderators Posted December 4, 2013 Hello Janus, it might be caused by the fact that it is not the same file. In running process you are checking the reputation of the Winrar executable and via context menu you are checking reputation of the installer.
Janus 210 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 HelloThanks Peter, you answer make sense, but won't that difference in how the file is evaluated/rated, confuse most users? Regards Janus
ESET Moderators Peter Randziak 1,223 Posted December 4, 2013 ESET Moderators Posted December 4, 2013 Hello Janus, it can be a bit confusing, but hopefully the installer will gain reputation after some time so it will be green as well.
