Virus or not??? the age old question

Post by PCGuy »

I own a computer repair business. A customer brought her computer in to me for non booting, after sorting the boot problem i noticed it had Driver Toolkit on there which I have seen viruses brought in by it before.

I ran her Panda I.S. which never identified Driver Toolkit as a virus so I ran ADWCleaner which reported Driver Toolkit as a virus, whilst running ADWCleaner i ran Panda I.S. again which identified ADWCleaner as a virus so please tell me what i your professional view on programs like ADWCleaner and MalwareBytes.

You have to take into account antivirus programs has got orders and opytions that might be regarded as "unfaithful" or "untrusty" operations by other antivirus programs.

So sometimes, our files are regarded as malware, and files from other antivirus are regarded by us as malware.
