    It does say:
    Possibly unknown NEW Heur_PE virus (if my dutch is still up to speed)
    As a matter of interest: What is the full name of the virus program? Never heard of it before.

    Note: if the program is any good, then you should be able to submit files that should be ok but cause an alarm (that's a false positive) to the publishers.

    Yep, that's what it says, possibly unknown newheur_PE virus.

    I don't know what a newheur_PE virus is though.

    it also says "the event was triggered by a file created by c/user/local/temp/asc_tmp"

    I think I let nod32 remove the program, and I simply continued the setup anyway, and the program works.
    but it's still a bit curious...

    Currently downloading some of them while having to wait for that . Anyway, I hope they're not for a limited time though. If they work well, I'll be very happy since Kingdoms on my PC has a bit of lag in the long run.

    May have only said it in jest but I had to edit your post. Such discussion is against the ToS anytime.

    Think Kingdoms lags now? A couple of the mods will cripple your computer then.

    Great thread. A question about Game Booster: what does Clean & Boost PC option does? I'm quite of a noob, so I'll rather ask before doing something potentialy irreversible...

    most likely its your virus software is seeing it has/asking for too much access, like a virus would, thus is a danger to your computer.

    If your nervous about it, don't use it, is my general suggestion. Plus for most of things like what you would use it for, if you load your computer in the msconfig mode of basic windows services only (which is like a scaled down safe mode with more computer access) you should be able to get rid of any non windows file, and if your going around deleting windows files, you know more than i do about computers, so ignore me

    also to add to the list(s):
    cpu-z
    doe what gpu does, except for memory, mainboard, windows/directx info and cpu (really good for overclocking as it gives imho more exact readings than most software). Detailed descriptions and screenshots on the link page. Works with both intel and amd chips.
    http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html#whatiscpuz

    dban (darik's boot and nuke)
    http://www.dban.org/
    ***Only use this after you carefully read instructions and feel fully comfortable***
    Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot disk that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect, which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data destruction. DBAN is a means of ensuring due diligence in computer recycling, a way of preventing identity theft if you want to sell a computer, and a good way to totally clean a Microsoft Windows installation of viruses and spyware.

    Works better than most programs at fully deleting info off your hdd, I use it when wanting to make sure all information is gone from my hdd and unrecoverable. Its like a reformat+.

    Warning: will delete windows/os.

    Security Task Manager
    http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/
    Security Task Manager shows comprehensible information about programs and processes running on the computer. For each Windows process, it improves on Windows Task Manager
    Like it says its a more detailed and more powerful (full version, trial is free) version of your task manger. I use it personally to find file paths/locations of hard to find files (aka virus/trojans mostly) and to make sure everything running on my machine is what it says it is.

    oh, and one other thing, I recommend running cccleaner's registry cleaner (op) in safe mode only, as it gets more and is generally safer and less likely to mess up anything if your in safe mode. Although I have never had a problem with ccleaner itself as its a pretty safe/low risk registry cleaner.
