I got MSE on my laptop. So far, it has detected a couple of malware ranging from medium to severe. And the current status of those messages are either deleted or disinfected. What's disinfected?
Also, I'm noticing that a lot of these files came from program files of programs that I would trust, like FIFA 11 Demo, or Microsoft. I guess that doesn't really matter because these things move around. But any idea on how i might have gotten it? From my flashdrive, Internet?
Is it possible that MSE hasn't detected all of the spyware that's in my computer?
-
Disinfected = removed from file (i.e. malware was attached to a legit file)
How it got there - hmm... are those programmes from original discs?no third party add-ons? - Else, pretty much anything that links the computer to the outside - so it could be a flash drive, the internet...
Edit:
Just noticed you wrote "Demo" from the manufacturer's website?
What does "severe threat" or "medium" mean?
