Here's the thread you should have posted: I probably saved people some hard earned cash, they didn't buy invircible after this incident. http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-2000985.php Let me quote you something ontopic; discussing Krile... To see whether Invircible could detect any virus, prevent its propagation and restore the infected files as promised, I used the KRiLE virus. KRiLE attacks executables in the PATH variable, encrypting the first 5,696 bytes of it. Because Invircible's lack of memory resident protection, KRiLE was able to infect as many files it liked. These included the Invircible Dos programs, unfortunately. The Dos and Windows integrity checkers showed that some executables had grown by 5696 bytes, and gave me the option of restoring them. Both programs claimed success, but executing the restored files showed that they didn't work. An email from the Invircible developer, Zvi Netiv, confirmed that this is how the program works. Invircible doesn't prevent virus infections, it only tries to recover from them. Files infected by non-overwriting infectors stand a better chance being recovered by IVB/IVB32. Without testing each and every virus on the Wild List it's hard to say exactly what the chances are. However, it is safe to say that Invircible does not 'find and repair all viruses known and unknown'. (On a side note, IVB restored virus infections to several files that had been disinfected by other AV utilities.) I know, you still think i'm some crazy sociopath or something; but.. I'm not... Even then, I hated liars like Zvi Netiv. -- Are you a former BBSer? Want to go back in time to the old days of ANSI and Renegade? Fire up telnet and go here then: ttb.slyip.com

Good attempt again at misleading and misdirection. You'll probably lure a few more of the ignorant masses in.. sucker born every minute n all. But, in the meantime, have a nice little glance of what New Zealand PC Magazine thought of invircible.. :) "However, after extensive testing, NZ PC World reached the conclusion that Invircible is a poor anti-virus program that doesn't work as advertised and offers substandard protection against viruses. We advise readers to avoid it." So much for your AV expert handing me anything, newbie. -- Are you a former BBSer? Want to go back in time to the old days of ANSI and Renegade?
