ASSuming you have the NAT and capability. Now I'm beginning to see; everyone
must adhere to the equipment you have and your opinions of it. Good show!
To each, his own. Most of those utilities do not catch anything, they
simply try to neuter or remove it after the fact. In many cases these
utilities are neutered in an infected system by the virus itself, so
they can't be run when you need them.
They in fact do and whatever you're talking about "after the fact" et al is
pure silliness. You seem to be talking about things you have no real concept
of. Like a journalist or politician and his buzzwords collection in an
effort to gain some kind of credibility. I'll stick with the current set of
tools I have as opposed to using anything that must claim to be a turnkey,
do it all application since you say all the rest of it can be uninstalled.
You're proferring dangerous advice.
I only run these utilities from a BartPE or UBCD4WIN disc.
What do you mean by "these utilities"? You mean you do it from a boot disk
or some such thing? You're great at being vague and about as smart as my
toenails.
A schedule refers to a time element. There's no use in scheduling a
3:00 am run time if the computer is not turned on at that time, hence
the use of term realistic should mean something, even to you.
<g> Perhaps you will schedule a scan for early AM and turn the computer
off, but not many people will unless they've set a policy to bring the
computer up sometime before that time occurs. Or wake on LAN could do it,
too I suppose. But I feel I've gone well over your head with that stuff.
Lol! That's actually funny, and what occasionally makes these sort of
threads more entertaining than usual. I have a feeling you need to check
into the meaning of "realistic" vs things like "obvious" and "logical" and a
few other words.
Since realistic to you doesn't mean a Full or a Deep scan, but means the
computer only has to be turned on, your command of the English language is a
little suspect. Perhaps English is not your native language? That might
explain a few of your problems here. Your wordings though, do indicate you
speak English natively; but I wonder?
