Hello there, firstly sorry if this is in the wrong place! But
My problem is that bullguard keeps giving me popups every few minutes saying "Bullguard stopped a malware!" Its telling me its blocked access to the file and that my computer has not been infected. They all seem to be "trojan.generic.723506" Like i said, its coming every few minutes and its driving me insane. I have absolutely no idea about this kind of stuff, and iv got no idea what to do. I only got my laptop just over a week ago, and im using the trial version that came with it. Is v7.3, and iv not messed about with it or anything.
1. Open BullGuard. 2. Go to the Firewall - Overview tab and set the userlevel to Advanced. 3. In the following window, go to the Profiles tab and double click on Custom Security. 4. Then, Go to the Notifications tab. 5. Once there, untick the "Display a security notification" box in the "When a security event occurs" section. 6. When back to the Profiles tab, highlight Custom Security and press Activate.
On the contrary, you need to go to ANTIVIRUS and not Firewall.
I also suggest you change some actions taken by the on-access AV protection in order to quarantine the malware. So, you need to:
1. Go to Antivirus->Protection 2. Scroll down to 'When an infection is found' section 3. Choose in the 'First action' combo "Move file to quarantine" and in the second "Block the file and continue" 4. Uncheck 'Display a notification message' checkbox
I also suggest you install the latest version, 8.5, although in no longer than a month an auto-upgrade will be available from 7.3 to 8.5, too.
nonubik, the auto-upgrade happens only for 8.0 users. The other ones must follow the mentioned guide :).
Regarding the tweaks of the on-access antivirus engine mentioned by nonubik, follow them, but i don't recommend you to Uncheck 'Display a notification message' box, because the infected file is on your computer, but blocked. You need to know when this happens.
After you receive a message of this type, you have more choices :
1. Run a full scan of your computer. 2. Check the on-access log to see the location of the infected file(Antivirus - Protection, scroll down, View file log). You can delete it manually, or right click it and choose "Scan with BullGuard". 3.In the actions section, you can select "Disinfect the file" and "Delete the File". The file will be desinfected or deleted in the moment you receive that pop-up message.
It's not safe to use 'Delete'. The scaning engine may have "false positive" detection. In this way you can end up with legitimate files deleted. It's BEST to seletct 'Move to quarantine' as first action. Anytime you need you may look into the Quarantine and either delete or move back files from there.
