    win.32.Tolone!IK
    « on: March 25, 2009, 06:27:32 AM »
    I am using AVG 8.5/Super Anti-Spyware/Spywareblaster/Spybot S&D.  AVG runs every day, & the SAS/Spybote I usually run at least once a week.

    Here is my question.  I recently added a-squared as an additional option to my arsenal, and the 1st time I ran it, it detected virus win.32.Tolone!IK.  First of all it gave me the option to quarantine or delete.  Which should I do??  Secondly, why wouldn't SAS/Spybot/AVG detect this?

    Sorry I am a bit of a rookie so forgive me if this is a silly question

    a-squared is a good tool but can have false positives and the results are not the easiest to understand. I suggest using these other free tools instead.
