Gehört zu AntiVir, aber der Mailvirus Netsky.G tarnt sich als AV-Programm. Meistens jedoch ist diese Datei ungefährlich.

zitat: "Jedoch frist der Process mit der Zeit bei mir immer mehr Speicher ... Das geht ins unendliche, in 4KB Schritte wächst sie Sekunde um Sekunden" also bei mir läuft avguard.exe stabil mit 23.380k ! das müsste sich um einen trojaner handeln der dazwischenfunkt! ansonsten ist avguard keinesfalls zu entfernen, da es zuständig für die automatischen updates von antivir ist!

The process for the guard feature of the AntiVir virus scanner. Not dangerous, quite the contrary actually. It lets AntiVir scan files that are opened for viruses giving additional protection against them.

Völlig harmlos (Virenscanner)
