I think that explains fully why there is no generic removal application ...  :D

Thanks for the thorough read.   :thumbsup:

Very well done OYF1P, my compliments to the chef (err author)

I be more than happy to engage some of that with my own comments but out of courtesy to your schedule i will of course allow for some time first.

Thanks

Just go ahead. It is always nice to exchange knowledge and discuss ideas - the more contrversive the better.

And please note: this is my current opinion, built upon my current knowledge. It might be that I get or have ideas in future that could change this. At first sight no one would believe that generic removal of (different) file-infecting viruses is possibe - but it is. Yet, this is another problem than with rootkits ...

Really nice to read the reviews and comments on the Lava Blog OYF1P

It's really great to read about what's happening there and how things are coming along in this field from other vendors prospectives.

Hahaha, that's funny. Since I have been considered a rogue former employee now by LS, they have removed all the blog entries that are linked from here. Funny, huh?

Read on

Wow. The more things change over there, the more they stay the same. (Slight poke at some humour)

Anyway, Greets again & Hello Oliver  :thanks: Rest assured your time and effort spent in replying to us is not been in vain nor ever would. I am taken aback a bit if what i ascertain is true, that is you are a "former"? i think was the term described.
Rogue on the other hand couldn't possibly apply where your concerned IMHO, and i am certain to many others too. I found drawing out your commentary and engaging tech issues with you INTELLIGENT and rational in discussions, very refreshing given what is been circulating in that camp since it's sudden abort, but then thats far history buffs now and better left where it is. (Going in circles)  :lol:
